Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I sincerely hope that the situation at Abbeyleix will not present as being calamitous at any time in the future. However, the situation for older people across the State who are awaiting discharge from hospital settings and who cannot access nursing home beds is indeed calamitous for them and their families. I make no apology for using that language.
