28. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will commit to fully abolishing the restrictive means test for carer’s allowance. [46328/26]

This question asks if the Minister for Social Protection will fully abolish the restrictive means test for carer's allowance. This allowance provides financial support to individuals who care for a person with a disability. The question affects carers and the individuals they care for. Abolishing the means test could potentially increase the number of eligible carers and the amount of support they receive.
