Ms Teresa Leonard:

People fill out the form and it goes in. I can tell the Cathaoirleach that 20% of people are now applying online for the additional needs payment, so it has proven useful. As far as I am concerned, it is the one form, but if I have misled the Cathaoirleach in any way, I will let him know.
