My response to Parliamentary Question No. 116 of 10 March last is on the record of the House. I said that the fund has received additional support from the employers involved totalling €260 million.

The funding I referred to was provided by the employers outside of the IASS and is intended to mitigate the benefit cuts under the approved IASS funding proposal. The funds were not put into the IASS fund directly and I hope this clarifies my previous comments.
