As the schemes referred to by the Deputy are not statutory schemes, their terms and conditions are not set out in legislation. These administrative schemes are governed by the operating guidelines which are updated by my Department from time to time. Guidelines covering the rules of each scheme are available at www.welfare.ie.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
