Seán Sherlock: -----a couple where one person starts to earn overtime and then the carer loses all entitlements. If the Minister could indicate that the interdepartmental group will look at those types of cases where all entitlements are lost by dint of the earning of overtime, that would provide some comfort.

Heather Humphreys: I thank the Deputy for tabling this amendment.

I...
