Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Living with a Disability: Discussion
Ms Catherine Cox:
Yes, and hopefully that should address the issue. Basically, it is a pension for carers who have been caring for 20 years or more who may not have had those contributions. How far it goes back will be the question. We might take that case offline and if the Deputy wants to send it to us, we could look into it. It is an issue that comes up time and time again. However, there is some good news at least going forward. Certainly, that will not be an issue for long-life carers but retrospectively we will have to look and see what we get.
