============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I will check that out. As the Deputy has acknowledged, the scheme is run by the Department of Social Protection under the Minister, Deputy Humphreys. I am not sure if there is a specific exclusion for taxi drivers or if it is a general exclusion relating to self-employment. It is definitely not that because I know of barbers who have availed of it and are self-employed. I will check it out. There may be a good reason for it, but maybe whatever the reason was is no longer valid. I will check it out and come back to the Deputy.
