I would like to raise an issue on page 87 of the programme of Government regarding family carers. There has been no increase in family carer's allowance since 2008. There has been no review since 2005. Will the Tánaiste please consider home carers' tax credits be made available to single carers who work part-time while caring for a dependent person? At present, this is only available to married couples and jointly assessed couples, which, in my view, is discriminatory.
