Social Welfare Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-16
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

I have no problem asking the interdepartmental group. I understand what the Deputy is saying there. Overtime is not basic income; it is extra income. If we go into the means-test space, we just look at household income. I will ask the group to look at that. I am not telling the Deputy that he will get the answer he wants, but we will certainly look at it.
