Mr. Odhrán Allen:

Not that I am aware of. That idea of having a retirement community that would be for LGBT people or a nursing home that would cater particularly to LGBT residents came from a fear of being placed in a traditional nursing home that would not cater for persons' identity or would not be respectful of them. That is the real underlying issue. In terms of establishing those retirement homes, I am not aware of any development in that area.

I suppose the real issue is, why do people want that? It is fine if they want it and it is fine to establish those, but in terms of trying to have mainstream services cater to all service users, the real issue is to look at nursing home care and how we need to modernise nursing home care so that it is fully inclusive of all those who would be using the services.
