Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I thank the Deputy for raising that. It has been raised by a number of Deputies. Regarding any anomalies of that kind, we do not want to punish people for being on a training course or that they would lose the once-off payment. We will come back to the Deputy to clarify that but my understanding is those anomalies are being dealt with. The Deputy raised issues in terms of pensions, which are broader social protection policy issues. On means testing, these are once-off payments in respect of an energy crisis and should not affect means tests.
