Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have not seen the report yet so I am not sure what measures, actions or remedies are being suggested. I do not want to comment in detail until I have. However, I understand the point the Deputy is making with regard to some degree of retrospection. I mentioned some of the blocks I am familiar with in my constituency where people have paid or are paying the levy and others have not paid or cannot pay. It would be unfair if those who have made a contribution already did not get any State support while those who did not or could not did. I am sure that is something the group has examined. I do not know what it has recommended. I understand the point the Deputy is making, and it is a valid one.
