Social Welfare Payments
Dail Éireann — 2026-01-15
============================================================

Seamus Healy (IND), Tipperary South

People with disabilities and their families incur considerably more expense to survive on a weekly basis, due to their disability. While the Government promised a weekly cost-of-disability payment, it reneged on that promise or, at least, it has not introduced that payment. When will that payment be introduced? Will the Minister make a statement on the matter?
