Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

I thank Deputy Murnane O'Connor for raising this matter. This was a lump-sum payment of €200 on the primary payment. It was different from the Christmas bonus and the October double payment because they were both double payments. This was not a double payment. It was a lump sum of €200 paid out to 1.2 million people at a cost of more than €250 million. I suspect that the cases the Deputy has raised with me involve people on qualified adult payments. If she will send me on the specific details, I will be happy to look into them for her.
