============================================================

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I move amendment No. 14:
In page 25, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following:
“Report on expanding recognition of long-term carer’s qualifying contributions
46. The Minister shall, within 6 months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before both Houses of the Oireachtas and the Joint Committee on Social Protection a report on options for expanding recognition of long-term carer’s qualifying contributions such that they may be recognised not just for the purposes of accessing the State pension (contributory) but also for the purposes of accessing other social protection entitlements.”.
