My questions have also been asked so I do not propose to delay the meeting. I welcome the Minister and acknowledge her engagement on all issues. I appreciate her getting back to me on issues.

I welcome the clarification in regard to the fuel allowance. I acknowledge the Minister's statement in regard to the pension. As stated by the Chairman, it is good news that people can go ahead and make their applications.

In terms of all of the changes being made, will there be a financial cost to the State?
