James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

Given that HIQA has completed its regulations on standards in nursing homes, when will the fair deal for nursing homes Bill be published and introduced in the House? I ask the Government to provide for a full and proper debate on the Bill and refrain from using a guillotine. Many people are deeply concerned about the implications of the legislation and Deputies want to contribute to the debate in a meaningful fashion rather than being restricted to speaking for two or three minutes.
