Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I seek clarification on two issues. First, the figure I have for the cost of the scheme is €5 million. Will the Minister confirm that is the figure with which he is working, and whether it is provisioned within the budget?

Second, while I appreciate that the mechanism is not contained in the primary legislation, I presume the regulations are well advanced at this stage. Will the Minister walk us through an example of the scheme's operation? Let us take someone from Belfast who is on holiday in France, for instance. What happens if that person breaks his or her leg and goes in for medical treatment? Does he or she need to pay in cash or is there a voucher scheme? How does that payment work?
