Violet-Anne Wynne (Clare, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I wish to raise the same issue. I was also contacted by Jennifer Hynes. She is only 42 years of age and is now stuck in a nursing home. She has had her local authority housing removed from her. Page 78 of the programme for Government states that the Government will "eliminate the practice of accommodating young people with serious disabilities in nursing homes". I ask the Tánaiste to ensure this is done urgently in my constituency of Clare. Jennifer is in a bad situation and cannot even engage in group activities because of her disabilities. This needs to stop.
