Designated areas should be set up to allow them to get proper CV training. We should look at disability allowance and perhaps at the invalidity pension to ascertain if there are ways to relax that for people doing rehabilitative work. I will not move into that space because disability allowance is the key issue. I am delighted to be able to contribute and look forward to hearing the Minister of State's views on where things are. He knows my commitment to this area has been lifelong and I commend him on his work to date.
