Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

In fairness to most employers, generally they try to be flexible because my attitude has always been, if you give a little you usually get far more back. Partial capacity payment should perhaps be promoted more; I accept that. To be fair to the Department of Social Protection, it is good at telling people the options available to them when it replies to them. We will make sure they are aware of the partial capacity payment. It can be paid for a longer period of up to three years, so they should look into it.
