Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We absolutely appreciate the value of home care and the difference it makes to those families who need this support at difficult times when they are vulnerable. The Department of Health has allocated a large additional budget to provide more home help hours. As the Deputy may be aware, the challenge we are facing is in recruiting the staff needed to provide this care. I will have to follow-up on the specific matter the Deputy raised concerning her city and constituency to be able to give her the answer that is deserved concerning this local issue.
