Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2019
465. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if a carer's support grant payment will be made available to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48614/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Carer’s Support Grant is an annual payment paid by my Department to full time carers.
The person concerned was awarded the 2018 and 2019 Grants on 4 October 2019. Written notification of this award was sent to her that day. An amount of €3,400 (€1,700 for 2018 and €1,700 for 2019) was sent to her nominated bank account on 10 October 2019.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
