I move amendment No. 1:

In page 17, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following: “Report on financial impact of changes to hours Carers can work outside the home

28.That the Minister shall prepare and produce a report on the impact of the increase in hours Carers in receipt of Carer’s Allowance can work outside the home from 15 hours to 18.5 hours without a corresponding increase in the earnings disregard and that the report shall be presented to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Employment Affairs and Social Protection within 4 months of the enactment of this Act.”.
