I propose to take Questions Nos. 218 and 225 together.

I should explain that this case has been under consideration in my Department and that, following this consideration, my Department has recently been in contact with the Health Service Executive in the matter. As this matter is now with the Health Service Executive, my Department has asked the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to reply directly to the Deputy in regard to the payment in question.
