I thank the Minister of State for his interest in this very sensitive, complex and difficult subject. I welcome the recommendations. I am anxious that the increase in the medical card earnings disregard from €120 would be quite significant but, obviously, we will know in the coming weeks. I also thank the Minister of State for the work that has been done. Our job is to ensure that persons with disabilities are afforded every opportunity to enter the workplace and maximise their employment potential. With a growing economy, everything should be done to ensure that this will happen. Once again, I thank the Minister of State for his interest and reply and I wish him well in the coming weeks.
