I thank the Minister. I am aware that the extension has only come into place since 1 July. I presume there is budgetary planning in respect of this. Does the Department have any idea of the numbers it expects to benefit from this scheme between now and 31 December?
With regard to ongoing planning, what is proposed to adequately plan for 2023 and 2024 to make sure there is adequate funding for the benefit if there is a further increase in numbers again?
