Ivor Callely (Dublin North Central, Fianna Fail)

I did not refer the upset daughter of an elderly mother in a nursing home to a colleague in her constituency. I dealt with the case there and then. I followed up the paperwork on the Saturday evening. Both the daughter and the statutory authority received correspondence from me on Monday, 16 February 2004, and I received confirmation from the statutory authority on 18 February 2004 that the case was being investigated, which I forwarded to the daughter on 19 February 2004.
