Mark Wall (Kildare South, Labour)

We need to revisit the issue of the community welfare office and I would welcome if the Chair could arrange a discussion on the topic.

On domiciliary care, I will send details of some cases to the Minister because we need to consider the matter more urgently than stated in his reply. I have received many cases, and I am sure many of my colleagues have as well, about the complexity and the problems experienced by people aged 16 when applying for a disability allowance compared with a domiciliary care allowance. I will forward the cases and ask that Department officials give them consideration.
