Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Impact of Covid-19: People with Disabilities
Richard O'Donoghue (Limerick County, Independent) | Oireachtas source
We have homecare agencies that give support to the elderly and people with disabilities in their houses. They were offering to work and looking for more hours and they were not allowed to work. The people who wanted to work had their hours reduced but their hours were kept to a bare minimum to stop them getting the carer's Covid payment.
