David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

What happened to the plans for a rehabilitation centre for Cork? Plans were drawn up. Why did it not go ahead? What is happening to the thousands of people in this country who suffer stroke or acquire a brain injury and end up in nursing homes? Does the Minister not agree that what is provided in Dún Laoghaire at present is inadequate from the point of view of capacity? Will the Minister state how Ireland compares to the rest of Europe, the United States and other countries in this area? It is true that Ireland is not at the races and that it is a disgrace compared to Europe?
