Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

We are all conscious of the huge contribution carers make. I made some considerable changes in last year's budget to the carer's disregard in terms of savings allowed and an increase in income limits such that people can earn more money and still qualify for the carer's allowance. I keep all these matters under review. Carers certainly will be a focus in this budget, along with people with disabilities, many of whom are the people being cared for, and pensioners.
