That is grand. Basically, what we are saying to students is that they are far better off to earn their own income and to get more than €164 a week and they will get a medical card even if their parents are not entitled to one. I wish to clarify that the change was made across the board and that the PCRS was not picking and choosing who to assess and who not to assess. I will supply the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, with the details to show that it is happening as she does not appear to be aware that is the case.
