The Government has done a great deal to assist people with disabilities. Last November, for example, I announced a disability support grant of €500. This was welcomed by the Disability Federation of Ireland. We had the carer's support grant, but the disability support grant was a new concept. From 1 January, domiciliary care allowance increased by €20.50 to €330 per month. I was the first Minister to increase this payment since 2009.
