Mr. John McKeon:

It is from 2020 up to when the schemes were withdrawn. So, it is 2020, 2021 and 2022. On the temporary wage subsidy scheme, the amount is just under €2.8 billion. On the employment wage subsidy scheme, the amount is €5.8 billion. On PUP, the amount is €7.86 billion. On Covid illness benefit, the amount is about €350 million.
