Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Ceann Comhairle will appreciate, I do not know anything about the individual case, unfortunately. However, I know of similar cases in my constituency of parents who are getting on in years, have a son or daughter who is in his or her 30s or 40s and are concerned about what will happen to their daughter or son when they pass on. They are increasingly concerned about their ability to look after him or her as they get older. I am told there are 130 new residential places for this year and there will be more next year, but how the figure is broken down across the country I cannot say.
