Where in this Bill is the committee's advice? Where is it reflected? There has been zero targeting in this Bill. We are seeing €34 million going to people who have a household income of more than €200,000. A figure of €170 million is going to people whose household income is €120,000 and €50 million is going to people who have holiday homes. There has been zero targeting. Was the advice from that committee incorporated and then discounted? Did the Minister of State incorporate it at all? He did not incorporate it. Did he seek the committee's advice in this Bill and then discount it?
