Jack Wall (Kildare South, Labour)

Question 69: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the concern expressed by community groups and representative groups for the elderly at the decision to terminate the scheme of community support for older people, which provided assistance for the installation of personal monitored alarms and items of home security; his views on whether the scrapping of the scheme will leave elderly people vulnerable to attack; the amount to be saved as a result of the move; if he will reconsider the decision and re-establish the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
