Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Public Service Performance Report 2023: Department of Social Protection

Mr. Niall Egan:

If the Deputy will let me finish, means tests in different schemes have evolved. They are based on legislative provisions. We can say they are targeted, we take into account all means, and there are some exemptions for means depending on certain criteria. We are undertaking a review of means tests in the system. I do not have the statistics to which I think the Deputy is alluding concerning the disability allowance.
