Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not disagree with the Deputy. We have a problem in the Cork area. I have a well-informed Minister and Minister of State here who confirm that. Notwithstanding the fact that 24 million hours were allocated for home care packages this year, which is an increase of 7 million hours compared with four years ago, that does not help the Deputy's experience and that of people in his constituency. There seems to be an issue in the Cork and Kerry area that we have to address.
