Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

At the time of the opening, the home had 30 beds; now it has 90 beds.

The issues were about the management, care provided and maintenance of the home. When the home was opened, it was confirmed that its policies were up to Eastern Health Board and Department of Health and Children standards. Unfortunately, I have not been out there inspecting the standards every day since then, so the Deputy's question does not apply.
