Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Health and Children to establish an immediate inquiry into Delvin Lodge nursing home, Gormanston, and, in particular, to inquire into the appalling, shameful and disgraceful quality of care given to the residents, as detailed in the recent HSE report which outlined 45 breaches of regulations, and for the HSE file to be forwarded to the Garda Síochána.
