Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

Impact of Means Testing on the Social Welfare System: Discussion

Dr. Fiona Dukelow:

I guess that would be quite a nice incremental way towards individualisation without it necessarily costing a huge amount of money. It would be interesting to review what happens to see whether people work more. They potentially will, because often people work to the thresholds. If you increase the thresholds, you have a more productive economy.
