That is correct. It is a €7 increase. There is a €6 per week increase for people on other payments, a €100 per year increase in the respite care grant and an increase in income disregards for those on carer's allowance. The package can be commended to the House. I am sorry it is not more but I accept that choices had to be made. In the future, we will see a return to the type of provision provided by the Government over the past five years.
