Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing for Older People: Discussion (Resumed)

12:00 pm

Mr. Niall Redmond:

On supported housing, Age Friendly Ireland did a piece of work looking at the Great Northern Haven example in Dundalk. It came up with an operation per week figure of €459. That may differ across different types of models and different set-ups but the main story is that it would be considerably less cost than nursing home care.
