Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I repeat that the scheme was designed to meet real needs. Members of this House, the Deputy's party included, have made representations and spoken to me and the Minister about their concerns regarding the scheme. There is a finite amount of resources available at any time and my concern is to ensure that the scheme is administered so that the real needs of those elderly people are met and accommodated through this scheme. In response Deputy Ring, the Minister and I talk.
