I thank the Taoiseach. We are over time.

A simple "No" would suffice.

I call Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan.

We have put a tax on wealth here but Sinn Féin has opposed it. Sinn Féin has opposed the property tax.

The Taoiseach wasted a minute there. A simple "No" would have sufficed.

There are a number of Deputies waiting to get in and we are over time.

Front-line healthcare workers will receive a €1,000 tax bonus for their work during the pandemic under plans agreed by Cabinet today. I welcome this wholeheartedly and it is good to see people get the recognition they deserve. They have worked through the most testing of times. Healthcare workers, front-line workers including hospice staff, cleaners, porters, clinical staff and private nursing home staff are all to be included. I believe student nurses are also to be considered for a pro rata payment. Will the Taoiseach clarify what the situation is for private care providers such as, for example, somebody working for Home Instead or one of those types of providers? Will these people also be considered for this payment if they have been seconded or were working on behalf of the HSE?

The Deputy raises a very reasonable point. He has outlined those who are benefitting. My understanding is that, subject to further clarification, if contracted by the HSE they will be entitled to that payment of €1,000 as well.
