Social Welfare Benefits
3:00 pm
Derek Keating (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael)
I will be very brief. I know the Minister fully appreciates the value of the role and task of carers, as well as their commitment to helping those most in need of care. Recently I have received a number of complaints from people who are experiencing delays in having their applications for carer's allowance processed. Is the Minister aware of this and does she have any suggestions to make or plans to help to fast-track applications for carer's allowances?
