TDs in Ireland propose to abolish means testing for Family Carer's Allowance, seeking cross-party support for a non-means tested system.
The Regional Group of TDs in Ireland propose a motion to abolish means testing for Family Carer's Allowance, seeking cross-party support for a non-means tested system. The current system leaves many carers in financial difficulty, according to Deputy Denis Naughten. Family Carers Ireland supports the motion, calling the means test outdated and gender-biased, and hopes to see the system abolished by 2027.
