Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 September 2014
211. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Finance if he will consider the proposals in respect of carers and the vital service they provide to the community and health system with the upcoming budget (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37177/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, it is not the practice of the Minister for Finance to discuss the details of measures which may be under consideration as part of the Budget and Finance Bill.
However I can advise him that to date my Department has received in excess of 500 Pre-Budget Submissions from a wide range of groups and individuals. These are being considered by the relevant officials in the context of Budget and Finance Bill preparation.
