Catherine Ardagh (Dublin South Central, Fianna Fail)

I know the ground on carer’s allowance has been covered a lot, but the programme for Government contains a commitment to the abolition of the means test for carer's allowance during the Government's term. Will the Minister provide an update on where this now stands, on the work has been done on the costings or preparations and on whether we can expect progress or a first step in budget 2026?
