Seán Power (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)

As with all constituencies, old people live in Kildare and I am familiar with the difficulties and pressures exerted on those families that find themselves in the unfortunate position where they are obliged to provide for long-term care for a family member. The Deputy is asking me to exclude the principal residence from the Bill. While that proposal might be desirable, it is not possible to agree to it.
