Social Welfare Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-12-13
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

As I said earlier, assessing the household means, in other words, the means of the entire household, is the best way of targeting income supports where they are most needed. I am doing a full review of it. We are happy to look at it on an individualised basis as well and can certainly do that when we are doing the review. We are, as I said, open to looking at it and seeing how we can perhaps do things better.
