Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Overview of Pensions: Discussion (15 Dec 2016)

John Brady: I would like to thank the officials from the Department for attending the committee this morning. In many respects, pensions constitute an important and complex issue.

In his opening statement, Mr. Duggan alluded to the three major factors driving some of the difficulties: greater longevity, increased PSRI coverage and the increase in pension...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Overview of Pensions: Discussion (15 Dec 2016)

John Brady: Okay. I refer to PRSI contributions, the changes that have been made and the extension of some of the contributions and what people can receive for them.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Issues Facing Lone Parents: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jan 2017)

John Brady: I thank the officials for giving their time again. I will briefly address the report because it is the outcome of an amendment I tabled to the Bill, one which, thankfully, the Minister supported.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Issues Facing Lone Parents: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jan 2017)

John Brady: As for the report on the barriers to accessing higher education for lone parents, there is much focus on this new measure, which is described as the cost of education allowance. That was cut in 2013. It is really only reinstating or reintroducing that and increasing it by €200. I think it was €300 at that stage. On listening to the witnesses, that may have been one key...
