Life is very short and I am speaking on behalf of all the ladies who are still being blackguarded with regard to their pension rights and entitlements. They are not getting the pensions they should be receiving. Can the Taoiseach give an update on the status in that regard? Also, I am not an argumentative person but yesterday the Taoiseach wronged many people in Ireland who operate health shops, people who avail of health supplements-----

The Deputy can only bring up one matter at a time.

I want the Taoiseach to correct the record of the Dáil.

He did.

As I said, I am not argumentative and I am giving him the opportunity to right the wrong. Everybody makes a mistake but the Taoiseach made a bad mistake yesterday.

The Deputy made a bigger one.

Are you the Taoiseach? The Taoiseach is perfectly capable of speaking for himself.

You are not argumentative. Calm down or you will give yourself a heart attack.

He does not need a backbencher to speak on his behalf.

You will give yourself a heart attack.

There is no need for a smart comment like that.

Calm down, please. Let the Minister, Deputy Regina Doherty, answer the question.

A Cheann Comhairle, that is blackguarding now.

It takes one to know one.

Get him to retract that statement.

I did not hear any statement.

I heard it.

What statement?

There is no reason for him to make a smart comment like that.

Calm down or you will give yourself an injury.

It is not a nice thing to say and if he had half a brain he would not say it. Do not be stupid in the national Parliament.

That is not a very nice thing to say, Michael.

What, that he does not have half a brain?

Yes.

We will review the record and see what people said. I call the Minister, Deputy Regina Doherty.

To update the Deputy - I updated the House yesterday but the Deputy was not here for Oral Questions - some 79,000 people are impacted by the rate changes that were made by the Dáil in 2012. We started to write to those people last week and sent 11,000 letters. The remainder of the letters to Irish residents will be sent out this week to advise them of what will happen with regard to the review over the coming weeks. Some 8,000 people are not resident on the island of Ireland and we will write to them in December. We expect the reviews to be completed and payments to start in the first quarter of next year. The payments will be backdated to 30 March 2018 or to the person's 66th birthday, whichever came first.

I call Deputy Tóibín.

What about the other question?

I corrected the record yesterday.
