The Taoiseach said there would be no cliff edge for people on the pandemic unemployment payment. Taxi drivers informed me yesterday of something I did not know and I ask the Taoiseach to confirm it. It now turns out that there is a cliff edge in September and then again in November. If someone's payment reduces from €250 to €203, he or she will immediately be pushed to go on jobseeker's payment. The whole point about people on the PUP is that they are not jobseekers. Taxi drivers, musicians and others will be forced to be categorised as jobseekers and have their PUP withdrawn. That is a cliff edge and it is completely unacceptable.

In response to Deputy Conway-Walsh, Brexit itself does not give the capacity, but a review of the Common Fisheries Policy will take place next year. The Government will engage in all aspects of that with the European Commission and other member states.

Deputy McGuinness pointed out that today is World Whistleblowers' Day. He has been very involved in a number of issues in that regard. I will certainly engage with Ministers to ensure that all protected disclosures are dealt with properly, effectively and constructively.

I say to Deputy Boyd Barrett that there has been no cliff edge. We have extended the schemes and the supports. We have also added new supports. Last week's package provided additional supports for taxi drivers.

There is a cliff edge, but the Government did not announce it as a cliff edge.
