Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Deputy makes a very fair point and I pay tribute to Shaun for his resilience and his family for their care and nurturing. We provide supports for disabilities within third level education and that helps but we must do everything possible for people with disabilities to enable employment. I am 100% in agreement with him. We have increased the thresholds for the medical card significantly now. I am not sure of the specifics of the case but the Deputy could follow up with the Minister for Health regarding the new situation and eligibility thresholds. He would certainly be entitled to the GP card.
