Ms Teresa Leonard:

I will ask my colleagues to answer some of the questions as well. I will start with the question about partial capacity benefit. The scheme was introduced earlier this year. There is no forced take-up of partial capacity at this point. People can apply for it and they can take up the option of partial capacity or employable partial capacity. It is on a voluntary basis initially. That is the position at present. The points the Deputy has raised are in that context. Mr. Ó Seaghdha can give further information.
