I am unsure whether it is relevant but this morning the Minister made the point that it would be 100% up to €12,000 of a pension. Is that it? Is there provision for 50% over €12,000? If so these people would completely depend on the contributory pension or non-contributory pension, which would be very small and based on a means test. Is that the case? I seek clarification on the matter.
