I apologise I was not present earlier. I was in County Mayo to greet and welcome Joe Biden. He received a huge Mayo welcome when Air Force One landed at Knock airport.

I missed the Minister's contribution. Is he saying that if the proposed legislation had not been amended, a total of €12 million would have been imposed in charges on carers, people with disabilities and other vulnerable persons? I am concerned by this. I am sure, therefore, that we are doing the right thing in tabling the motion to have the legislation annulled.
