Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív:

My view of society may be old-fashioned in that I still think of that old-fashioned concept of family, defined in whatever way one wants, as I purposely think it right not to define but we will know what it means just as we know what the sky means but we might not define it. If one has an inter-generational group around, then the natural outcome is for parents to be in contact with children so that one has this vertical support between generations, not only for services but generally.
