Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Home Care Provision: Discussion with Home and Community Care Ireland

2:10 pm

Mr Ed Murphy:

With regard to Deputy Tóibín's questions, our average client is 83 years of age. When we talk about a growing elderly population, we are not talking about over 65s but about over 75s. The Deputy may check this with the CSO.
