Niamh Smyth (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

As of yesterday, 320 people were waiting for home support hours in the constituency of Cavan-Monaghan. The real frustration for families is that they are receiving letters from the HSE telling them that they have been allocated hours and are entitled to them. However, they continue for months without the hours being made available. They are left high and dry and given a false promise. Like many others in this House, constituents of mine have literally been waiting for months for home help hours to be made available. Does the Taoiseach really see the additional home help hours provided for making a real difference for the 320 people waiting in the constituency of Cavan-Monaghan?
