I thank the Minister of State for the reply, which is adequate and answered what I asked. On a positive note, I know the figure we have is from 2013, but it states that in 2015, the Revenue relief automatically applied to 81,000 and previously in 2013 some 82,500 families availed of it. Clearly, only a very small number of people do not have to actively look for it. It would be interesting to know how many families are entitled to it but are not aware of it. It is a helpful answer and I appreciate the Minister of State coming to the House to give it to me.
