This is also in connection with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, especially in relation to a person who has been in contact with me, namely, Catherine Gallagher from Achill. She is 23 years of age and has undergone dozens of operations. She ploughed through college and has now been offered a scholarship for a PhD. She is told that if she takes up that PhD and scholarship, her disability benefits, medical card and travel pass will be taken from her. The Tánaiste has been Minister for Health and for Social Protection. Please tell me this cannot be right in this day and age, that we can have that barrier in front of people like Catherine Gallagher and many others who have been in contact with me.

We know that people with disabilities constitute one of the sectors that has suffered most due to Covid-19. I have been contacted by people with disabilities who are entrepreneurs, who want to start their own business or who want to get their businesses going again but there is a lack of support for them. Will the Tánaiste and the Government provide supports for people with disabilities to help get them up and running and put them on a level footing with everyone else? They need support, especially at this time.

On that latter question, if I recall correctly from my time as Minister for Social Protection, someone in receipt of the disability allowance can move over to the back to enterprise allowance and receive both social welfare payments and grant support to get their business up and running. Perhaps I will come back to the Deputy with some more information on that.

On the issue raised by Deputy Conway-Walsh, a similar issue was raised by Deputy Dillon in our parliamentary party yesterday. I imagine it is the same case, and if it is, it sounds like a mistake. The Minister, Deputy Humphreys, will look into it. It would be a terrible thing for somebody with a disability who has qualified for a scholarship to do a PhD to find he or she would lose his or her welfare payments as a result. There must be a way around it and, if there is not, we ought to find one. I thank the Deputy for raising the issue.

Sin deireadh le Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh agus ar a lán rudaí eile. Níor éirigh linn deichniúr den bhallraíocht a shroichint an tseachtain seo agus tá brón orm faoi sin.
