Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I am very supportive of modernising the appeals process, particularly any system involved. The sooner, the better, the quicker and the faster. We would all agree with this. I have no difficulty in passing on the information to the Minister. I was not going to say this but I thank the Minister with regard to the issue we dealt with previously. People are very supportive of it. What we need to get into particularly is ensuring the systems are good enough and that people can get what they are entitled to. Not for the first time I may slightly go off on a tangent from the question rather than just repeating again what I said. Earlier the Taoiseach brought up the means test for carers and he said he believed it was too mean. He spoke about the income disregard that will be dealt with this week. Will the Minister give an update on this if it is possible? I realise I am throwing this out.
