Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Ceann Comhairle. Responding to Deputy Mac Lochlainn, the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, assures me that the changes that are being brought in with regard to that cap level will be retrospective to those within the scheme.

I want the Deputy's constituents to know that, and I know Deputy Pringle's bona fides on this. It will take a period of time to draft the amendment. I will ask the Minister to directly clarify with Deputy Pringle in relation to the timeline. Any changes that are made in relation that cap will be retrospective for those in this scheme.
