Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

We are dealing with amendments agreed upon by the Seanad, which are constructive changes to the legislation suggested in both Houses. The various changes are contained in the Seanad amendments, which are before the House today. It is important that we have this nursing home support scheme in place so that the proper legislative structure exists and that the funds voted for this purpose can be applied.
