The Budget must support people with disabilities -carers
Ireland now has 518,000 unpaid carers saving the state €20 Billion we must support these carers with a Pandemic Carers Payment today
Carers Hounded by Government with Means Tests
Carers are facing cruel means test which is ruling them out for basic carers allowances based on having just €2 more than is allowed with the carers partners earning the loving wage and no more -means tests for carers must be abolished as the State are saving €3 billion per year as a direct result of carers providing caring that the State refused to do.
No increase for Carers out of an €18 Billion pot
The Irish Government spent 18 billion yesterday and failed to support people with disabilities and their carers with not one cent allocated to the carers or disability allowances .
Little or no support for Carers
A Dail Committee was informed that persons with disabilities and their cares received little of no support from the service providers during the 5 months of the COVID 19 Pandemic with 4 Ministers responsible for Disabilities one wonders what are these Ministers and the Government doing >
