Ms Wendy Newman:

Money is very hard. My husband supports me. I have my bus pass, which is my independence for getting out and about but now that I am working, I am paying money towards everybody. I am proud to be able to do so, but the system is not doing me any favours. Why would I not just continue to receive the invalidity pension and take it off the Government? I have pride and like to support Ireland, I suppose. I thank the Chairman and the committee very much.
