151. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the total number of persons who have given up employment to care for a relative and who have subsequently been awarded State pension-related credits over the past four years to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19398/13]

I can confirm that the Department does not hold records of those persons who have given up work entirely in order to care for someone nor does it hold records as to whether the carer is related to the care recipient.
