Deputy John Curran:I also raise a similar issue relating to carers. Family Carers' Ireland made an excellent pre-budget submission. It raised an issue that rang home with many of us, namely, that one in five, some 81,000, of those caring are not in receipt of carer's allowance. The Minister suggested earlier that the means test is very favourable. In reality, many do not qualify. There is an issue regarding who qualifies and how. Will she conduct a review of the means test for carer's allowance?
