I thank the Minister of State. The scandal since the "RTÉ Investigates" programme has left many of us shaken. Constituents are coming to us and increasingly asking about home care, even though they know they will not even be able to manage. I want to emphasise that we have great nursing homes. In my own county, I was on the board of management for the St. Joseph's home in Killorglin for years. I have worked closely with the community hospitals in Valentia Island, Cahersiveen, Dingle and Kenmare. Since this scandal broke, has the Minister of State actually met representatives of the company involved? I have raised this a couple of times at this health committee. I think it is important we bring the company in here.
