I thank the Minister for that. The area that would allow it to grow further is if there is technology outside the landline. That is definitely worth investigating and I am glad it is being considered. In general, however, I welcome the fact that the number of applications increased by 70%. The increase in funding from €1.8 million to €2.7 million in a year is phenomenal. I look forward to seeing that growth continuing for this vital scheme for people.
