Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the abdication by the Government of its care of older people with high dependency needs as manifested by its lack of confidence in some private nursing homes, and the need for the State to take over and fully fund all high dependency care for older people in accordance with their legal entitlement, whether such persons are located in State institutions or private nursing homes, and to encourage not-for-profit community alternatives for older-person care.
