Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I support the comments made by Deputy Reilly. More than 500 complaints have been made in the past two and a half years. There is a need to shine a light on these institutions. The Joint Committee on Health and Children, of which some of those present are members, must visit these facilities and members of the public must make constant visits to their relatives and friends within them. Unfortunately for many of those who live in these institutions, no one visits them or sees what is happening.
