I welcome the pilot programme. It is really positive. When the Minister was in previously, I articulated that the programme deserves all our support. One of the teething issues that came up at committee previously related to disabled artists who may be on a disability payment and effectively have to choose between one or the other. Has the Minister had an opportunity to have discussions with the Minister for Social Protection to see if this year's continuation of the pilot could iron out that anomaly in the scheme?
