Up to now, we have only been able to recover €2 per week from people. There has been a great deal of debate in respect of carers, those on disability allowance and jobseeker's benefit and pensioners. Recovering €2 per week from somebody who has been defrauding the social welfare system is simply not good enough for our pensioners. I do not understand Sinn Féin's logic in respect of this matter.
