Health Services Staff
276. Deputy Richard O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Health If she will consider a temporary review and retention of the higher motor travel mileage rate bands for HSE and contracted home support health care assistants, particularly those covering extensive rural areas, in light of ongoing high fuel and vehicle maintenance costs; and if she acknowledges that high-mileage community staff quickly exceed lower-rate thresholds, threatening staff retention and continuity of care for vulnerable elderly clients, due to the escalating costs.

Tax Reliefs
399. Deputy Richard O'Donoghue asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance the policy rationale behind the €3,000 disregard amount threshold for third-level tuition fees tax relief, given that the student contribution charge has been capped at €2,500 following Budget 2026 measures; his views that this structural gap completely excludes middle-income families paying for a single student, from receiving tax relief on their out-of-pocket costs; and if he will review the threshold in upcoming budgets to provide meaningful cost-of-living relief to middle-class households who do not qualify for means-tested grants but must pay their own way.
