Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)

It is very complicated. A medical assessment must be passed for the carer's benefit, which is a different medical assessment from the one for the carer's allowance. It is complicated. Going back to a universal basic income, UBI, or participation income would simplify that. In itself, that would speak to the issue the Deputy raised.
