Ms Sarah Jane Lavin:

About a year ago, my mother rang the local Deputy to ask where we were on the housing list. She was told that I was on it and that there were places in Naas, but I would have to be aged over 65 to avail of them. The Deputy said "hang on a minute", there were places in Celbridge for which I needed to be aged over-55. What could my mum say? She explained that I do not want to go into residential care. That was the alternative. We said we would have to wait and see what happens. I have not even seen the outside of these houses. I am trying to figure out where in Celbridge they are. I would like to look at the outside because if they have to put €2,000 worth of money into them, they are no good. They could be old houses or modern houses. We do not know.
