Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Impact of Means Testing on Farm Assist and Other Social Welfare Schemes: Discussion
Mr. Vincent Roddy:
I will make a couple of brief points. I am delighted the committee is going to look at the universal basic income because we need to ensure we do not end up with some farmers in that poverty trap when that can be of benefit as an opt-in, which I emphasise. On the non-contributory pension, that should align with what is there for the PRSI payment. We need to go there. I do not know if Mr. Fitzgerald has anything to add.
