I thank all the contributors from the INOU, Social Justice Ireland and Age Action. Fair play to them for getting their heads around all this detail because I find it mind-bending trying to cross-reference the report's recommendations and the contributors’ responses and observations on them. I broadly agree with many of the points being made. I did not hear all the introductions. Is everybody in favour of a universal basic income? No.
