Ireland's Taoiseach on Disability Support

Irelands Taoiseach Micheál Martin aims to support disabled individuals with a new payment, but no commitment yet. The government plans to finalize details for Social Protection Minister Dara Calleary to present proposals later this year. The annual cost of living with a disability is estimated between €15,200 and €15,500. Martin emphasizes the need for a mechanism to implement the payment, potentially starting in the next budget. Other budget boosts for disabilities are in the pipeline, including mobility fixes and improvements in respite and residential care for parents of adults with disabilities.
