Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I will check it out and come back to the Deputy about it. When we assess things such as payments as a percentage of median income, we do not only take into account weekly payments. We also take into account supplementary payments such as the fuel allowance and other payments. Total income is not only what people get every week. It is the total income over the course of the year.
