Here in Ireland there is a commitment in the programme for Government for a universal basic income, UBI, pilot. There is also the income guarantee scheme that is coming in for artists. Wales is looking at introducing a UBI for people who have exited care. That is an interesting idea because it might provide that continuum and flexibility of support that would serve people coming out of care in a better way.
