I will follow on a point made by Deputy Brady in regard to the abolition of the bereavement grant.
The Minister mentioned that a figure of €5 million was paid out last year in exceptional needs payments. Where does the provision for exceptional needs payments appear in the budgetary figures? Is it part of the supplementary welfare allowance?
