I ask the Tánaiste to give serious consideration to reviewing this measure because it will have a significant impact on the incomes of quite a number of people. Moreover, it will have a highly significant impact in the case of some people. In particular, I have come across young families in receipt of family income supplement, for example, who also were in receipt of the carer's allowance. A measure undertaken in the previous budget took €100 per week from them.
