Ms Ruth Kennedy:
In total there could be around €161 million a year for each of the three years for people. That does not include health expenses, which they may claim on top of that. We also introduced a change whereby people can claim their health expenses in year now, that is, they do not have to wait until the end of the year. You can claim the expense as you incur it. That is an attempt to get the right tax at the right time.
