Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

The point that was being made is that while this matter is of concern to many of us, and I have previously indicated that it is of concern to me, it has not been possible heretofore to find a means of addressing it which would not result in those who need to have their situation examined and dealt with being the sole beneficiaries. Others who have no such need would also benefit. If a formula can be found to address that, I am sure the Government will examine it carefully and charitably. I certainly would be prepared to consider it, but it is not a matter for me to consider.
