124. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if he will provide an update on the interdepartmental working group to examine and review the system of means testing for carer's payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7673/25]

As part of Budget Measures 2024, an Interdepartmental Working Group was established to examine and review the means test for carers payments. The Group is chaired by my department.

I expect the Group to report to me in the coming weeks.

I trust that this clarifies the issue for the Deputy.
