Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Impact of Means Testing on the Social Welfare System: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Most cases I come across with so-called dependent adults are small farmers and fishermen. They are not inactive but they are getting a means-tested payment to supplement their farming because the farming in the west of Ireland is poor.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Apr 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: As the Taoiseach knows, housing is the big issue.
