Dan Boyle (Cork South Central, Green Party)

The Minister is confusing two sets of figures, as my question was specifically on the number of people who applied after the imposition of the €5 million cap. There are more people in the system with personal pensions. While the answer given to me only referred to one person, namely, the person with the largest personal pension fund of €20 million, the Minister mentioned eight people. We need more rounded figures as to who the people are and the size of their pension funds because they entered the system before the introduction of the cap. The parliamentary answer I received in November was specific and referred to the person with the largest personal plan.
