I wish to ask the Minister for Social Protection if she is aware that foster caring for children with additional complex needs does not qualify one for full pension support, even in cases where Tusla has advised these carers they need to be on call 24-7 to support the children's medical needs and therefore one carer per household should not rejoin the workforce. Has she liaised with the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth on this matter, as that Department's Minister promised in a parliamentary question response on 17 January?
