To clarify, there are obviously travel and accommodation costs in relation to pre-op assessment and, indeed, the operation, in terms of travelling to and from one's home to Dublin, in particular, where the donation would be carried out. In terms of the loss of income, if a person is working and he or she recuperates for, say, six weeks after the transplant and he or she would normally be paid a gross income of €10,000 during that period, does this proposal mean there will be no income tax whatsoever on that gross payment? Is that the clarification?
