I accept the point Ms Harrington makes. The point I am making is that in the way is it presented it is misrepresenting the situation. It would be far clearer to leave it at 60% up to maximum thresholds of €450, €375 and €300. The costs involved would be minimal, but it would at least be easier to communicate rather than introducing three percentages with three different caps at different periods of time. That causes confusion. This is something we will reflect in our recommendation and ask the Department to consider. I know the Department is conscious that it is not just the costs, but it is important it can be clearly communicated to the public and that people know what they are looking at once they go onto this, rather than having to do a mathematical calculation on each occasion. The Department might consider that in advance of our making that recommendation. I think it would be clearer and more transparent than the approach being proposed. Will she take note of that?
