Yes, that is the way it would have been.

We had a detailed discussion in the Seanad at the time and I said I would keep this under review so I am delighted to say we have the resources. I am sure the Deputy has already heard the good news that the rate of unemployment has fallen below 11 and that 1.9 million people are at work. Many of those going back to work are lone parents. In the context of the additional resources available as a result of people returning to work, I am in a position to leave the disregard at €90 for this and subsequent years.
