It is €50 million for the means assessment of capital for the first €50,000 to be exempt. Breaking it down, €20,000 should be assessed at €10 a week, €10,000 and the balance at €20 per week. The Department looked at that using that formula for calculating capital means. A disability allowance applicant with €150,000 in savings and no dependants would be assessed as having €350 in weekly means. The €50 million is a broad figure. I accept that. What I am saying to the Deputy is that when we get into the detail of looking at the different means tests, which I think we should change, by the way, and I am on the same page as him on this, we will be able to get a better and maybe a more detailed look at what exactly it will cost.
