Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

That was it. I took it off the table. The Cabinet committee is now in place. As I said, it is not just about income supports. There are 1.1 million people in this country who are disabled. The question is how we target the resources. The Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, continues to consult the sector. The findings from the Green Paper will be taken into consideration at the Cabinet committee.
As I said, it meets regularly. I know the Taoiseach is committed to dealing with this issue. I am happy to do all that I can in my Department to support people with disabilities.
