I will be very clear: we have no money left over. That is why I am here looking for an extra €625 million. The living alone allowance is something I will do a good bit of work on. I absolutely agree with the Deputy that the expenses are higher for somebody on their own. We need to look at that, but it will be in the context of budget 2027.
