Professor Kathleen Lynch:

I thank the Senator very much for his questions. The first question is very important because Ireland has moved into a new liberal capitalist model, whether one approves of it or not, in the provision of services with the withdrawal of the State, as I showed my presentation, from the care of older people especially. Of course, it never existed for children. It is a highly gendered matter because as Pauline said - I am sorry; I should not call the Senator by her name.
