Order of Business (25 Jun 2009)

Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: From the Seanad (25 Jun 2009)

One could be left with a property whose mortgage value exceeds the equity value,...

Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: From the Seanad (25 Jun 2009)

James Reilly: I welcome these amendments. They add to the Bill. It is only right and proper that persons of diminished capacity should still have a say in indicating who they feel might be best positioned to represent them when they become of that state of mind. In other words, a person's wishes may have been expressed before he or she was no longer compos mentis. The definition of "compos mentis" is...
