To comment on that, a thing I worked on with the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Humphreys, over the past year or so was the introduction of a grant towards the price of wigs for people who suffer from alopecia or who have lost their hair due to cancer. If we are able to provide €500 towards the cost of something like that, why are we not providing €500 towards the cost of the budgetary situation Mr. Kavanagh has outlined because of his disability? That measure was particularly aimed at PAYE workers. Would Mr. Kavanagh think that would be a start? Is it something the committee could advocate for that would help?
