Section 5 provides for the payment of €3,000 to former residents living abroad. I do not believe that is adequate to meet their needs. A sum of up to €20,000 would be more adequate to meet their needs. Also, people who have received payments under the mother and baby institutions payment scheme should not be excluded from this scheme. That is vital. Will the Minister consider increasing the supports available to people living abroad?
