Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

I cannot tell the Deputy that now, as I sit here. What I can tell him is, as I said, that the scheme was based on the legislation in the Dáil. The Dáil would have specifically referred to public nursing homes or publicly contracted beds in private nursing homes. The emphasis, therefore, would clearly have been on older persons, typically, who resided in those facilities. What was clearly raised along the way was, I am sure, an entirely valid question as to whether people in a similar situation, albeit in disability services, should be entitled. I do not have any more detail than that.
