It is very important to note that all of those measures were as a result of the increases in the cost of living and inflation. They were nothing to do with the cost of disability, which is a separate issue. It is important that we separate both those things. We should not conflate this by saying we gave money because that money was given as a result of the increased cost of living due to supply chain issues and whatever else. It was nothing to do with the additional cost of living with a disability of over €9,200, as set out in the Indecon report. I am not necessarily looking to hear about the budget line for line but will the budget this year introduce some sort of special payment for people with disabilities and kick-start the process by which they would get additional funding to meet the cost of their disability?
