Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to address the following matter of national importance, the need to call a halt to the savage cuts being imposed on services for older people, including people with dementia and Alzheimer's, who are seeing home help hours reduced, carer's allowance cut and the closure of care facilities such as Loughloe House in Athlone, the need for the Minister for Health and Children to intervene to prevent the closure of that facility and to ensure the completion of its upgrading to HIQA-approved standards.
