I am sorry but I had to leave the meeting for a period. I thank the panel of witnesses for their attendance here today. I apologise in advance if I ask a question that has already been asked. As Sinn Féin's spokesperson for older people, I assist a lot of people with issues related to the State pension. What is the panel's view on the indexation of pension payments and various benefits like carer's allowance and fuel allowance and also the indexation of various access thresholds?
