Carer's Allowance
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-22
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

I am not taking away from the wonderful work that carers do throughout the country. They do the State a great service through what they do for people who need this support and assistance, whether elderly people or people with disabilities. They provide a vital service. The Deputy has hit the nail on the head as to whether it is about an income and paying somebody for a job they do or income support. I congratulate the Deputy, who is now the Chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development and the Islands.
