I welcome that because it will make a huge difference, along with the change in the means test for the carer's allowance, which is getting nearer to the target the social welfare committee was heading towards and the recommendation of a disregard of the first €500 for a single person and the first €1,000 for a couple. It is getting much nearer to that, at €450 and €900, respectively. Will the Minister of State confirm that measure will come in on 1 January next year?
