I agree wholeheartedly with the Deputy. The Minister of State, Deputy Feighan and I are working very closely on this. We have allocated sizable additional funds next year for exactly what the Deputy has outlined to help the providers and the residential care facilities. The waiting lists are too long. Again, during the Covid pandemic, many things were done that had never been done. People were helped and wrap-around services were provided, but we can do much more. The Minister of State and I will push that hard.
