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

I think Deputy McDonald is conflating two different issues, and they are different, namely, the historical nursing home charges and the issue of the DPMA. The legal advice is different. The legal advice on the DPMA was that the State did not have a leg to stand on. The legal advice on the nursing home charges is that those charges were not illegal.
