Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2010: Second Stage
12:00 pm
Rónán Mullen (Independent)
This is the budget in which carers have been forgotten. I have previously outlined an example of a carer who lives in the same house as the person for whom he or she cares. The fact that they are not romantically involved does not make them any less caring or mutually dependent. The Minister should ensure they are not disadvantaged compared to a couple who come within the State's recognition system.
