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

Pat Buckley (SF), Cork East

I thank the Minister of State for a pretty in-depth response. Sometimes, it can be fairly flippy-floppy here. I welcome her response. I have had a case where a beneficiary was living for more than three years in a house but did not know what the actual rules were and was panicking because that person did not know whether to buy it.
Since there has been a proper response, I will delve into it more myself. I understand what the Minister of State said about the Attorney General and what he said but it is nice to have it discussed. I welcome the information on the bands and group thresholds. It has actually opened my eyes. I probably should have read it from A to B. I am desperate, as I normally read something three times - three times, all the time.
I welcome the response to this and I thank the Minister of State for it. I will certainly take it back to my constituents. Maybe they could read it a bit more than I could at this time.
