Michael Cahill (Kerry, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I have come across senior citizens from Glencairn, Callanafersy, Keel and Castlemaine who wish to move to Killorglin town. They wish to be near the local shop, the post office, the church and the doctor. I have cases where senior citizens in Rathmore and Barraduff wish to move to Killarney town for the very same reasons. I have come across cases of senior citizens from Lispole, Anascaul and Ballyferriter who wish to move to Dingle town. I have also come across cases of individuals in Templenoe and Sneem who wish to move to Kenmare town. This is hugely important. There will be a big take-up if a scheme is made available. I have come across many cases and have made Kerry County Council aware of them. Will consideration be given to doing away with the means testing of older people's grants, disabled persons grants and mobility aids grants?
