Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Social Welfare Benefits: Discussion with Department of Social Protection
2:10 pm
Ms Mary Kennedy:
I meant to come back to the Deputy on the matter. The advisory group report mentioned systems in other countries for the self-employed. In anything that we do, we always have regard to what applies in other countries when examining any change in any scheme. Obviously, if a country has already done something or is providing a benefit, we examine how such mechanisms work in other countries and then see how the scheme might apply for us.
