Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Eligibility for Employment Activation Measures: Discussion

11:10 am

Ms Lorraine Hennessy:

That makes it fairer for people. There is a significant information deficit there still, which is why people are not availing of things they could. On homemakers' credit, the idea of pensions for women in particular is raised a great deal. The homemakers' tax credit only lasts for two years. I was looking at it during the week. If one can only get it for two years, maybe they could build on it. One may be minding one's children for more than two years.
