Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Last Wednesday the Taoiseach stated that legislation was not deemed necessary to implement the repayment scheme for people in long-term residential care. However, I recall that the Tánaiste certainly stated on the record that legislation would be required. Will the Taoiseach clarify the situation and advise whether legislation or a ministerial order will come before this House for debate as part of the implementation process of that repayment scheme?
