Speaking with Miriam O'Callaghan on RTÉ Radio 1, the Minister said:
“We will start with looking at how it worked with grandparents and if there was a demand or a justification for extending it to other people that would be absolutely fair enough.” "This is a start and it's something which could be extended if it's very successful, if it's not too expensive, and if it actually really works."If the scheme proposed by the Independent Alliance comes into effect, Mr Ross declared it would not be policed. The reason being, he doesn't think it will be abused by the family members. The Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe is not as positive about the scheme as Shane Ross, and yesterday questioned how it will work. The Grandparent and Grandchild Expenses Reimbursement Scheme will be examined by the Finance Minister.
