As to how bad it is now, though, this week I had two families on to me and they were being requested to be placed in a nursing home in Limerick. One of them was living just on the outskirts of Cork city and their elderly parent was asked to go into a nursing home facility in Limerick. There now needs to be a priority in dealing with that issue.
