The estimated full-year cost of increasing the Carers Support Grant to €2,100 is €35.5m.
This costing is subject to change in the context of emerging trends and associated revision of the estimated numbers of recipients.
Any changes to the Carers Support Grant would have to be considered in an overall budgetary and policy context.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
