Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The scheme was extended to self-employed people from 27 March, which I accept, and the benefits for both the self-employed and employees will be extended under the scheme from October next. That has already been provided for. The Minister is engaged in his own election campaign at present and I notice that his manifesto refers to a further extension of the treatment benefit scheme. I presume that means a further extension on top of what has been provided already. Could the Minister clarify that? What exactly had he in mind?
