I am querying the figures in order to ascertain the net cost to the Exchequer. The delegates are seeking an increase in the grant from €500 to €1,000, which is an increase of €500. However, if one considers the tax element, it would cost the Exchequer €400. I was trying to clarify that there is a saving on the tax element. I fully understand that it is claimed in a different year, but the net cost to the Exchequer is €400.

I apologise for interrupting Deputy Brady. Has Mr. Lennon finished answering his questions?
