Áine Brady (Kildare North, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 35:

In page 17, to delete lines 32 to 37.

Amendments Nos. 35 and 48, which reflect commitments made to Deputy Reilly on Committee Stage, will remove the right of the HSE to cease paying financial support when a person fails to pay his or her contribution. This is appropriate, given that the payment of the contribution is a private matter between the individual and the nursing home. I urge Deputies to support amendments Nos. 35 and 48, which achieve the intention of amendments Nos. 36 and 49.
