Mr. Ger Deering:

Yes, I think we would make much more progress if it was the remit of one Department. Strangely enough, this scheme, because it is a rebate of the current scheme and because it is a rebate of tax, is under the responsibility of the Department of Finance. It is not for me to say which Department should deal with these matters. One would think that there are other Departments with an interest here also. Certainly, the Department of Health comes to mind and the Department dealing with disability should have a major input. I welcome that they are now working together. However, I think it would be helpful if one Department took a lead and decided to implement a new scheme.
