Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North-Central, Fianna Fail)

I know it might not be popular to say it with some people inside here, but the €600 million VAT exemption given to hospitality might have been better devoted to this area in the budget.

To finish, I want to highlight a particular concern I have about people providing full-time care to more than one person in their homes. Will the Minister please outline how we are going to help these people in particular, as I believe they are a cohort under the most pressure? Will the Minister update us on plans to introduce a pay-related carer's benefit for individuals who have to give up work suddenly in order to provide full-time care for their loved ones?
