Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Impact of Means Testing on Farm Assist and Other Social Welfare Schemes: Discussion

Mrs. Alice Doyle:

When most people go looking for social welfare, they are coming from being employed to being unemployed and they usually have bodies that advise them carefully as to what their social welfare entitlements are. In farming, it is a different set-up. It has become "on hard times" for whatever reason and, because of that, there is not always somebody to advise you as to what is available to you.

I will turn over to Mr. Buckley, who will deal with the schemes and that whole area.
