Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Indexation of Taxation and Social Protection System: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ciarán Lawler:
Regarding the first question, the focus and only real policy position the Government has taken concerning benchmarking and indexation now is on State pensions. There is a commitment in the national roadmap for social inclusion to examine other social welfare payments. The focus to date has been on State pensions, but we will be turning to other working-age payments, along the lines the Deputy spoke about.
