Home Help and Home Care Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (17 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: I begin by commending the thousands of home helps throughout the State, mostly women, who are the essential support for many of our older citizens. Many home helps spend much longer with their clients than the minimum amount dictated by the HSE - and they certainly do not do it for money. Home helps are paid €14 per hour. They have very poor terms and no legal protections. The cost...

Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: Tuigim sin, agus bhí an Taoiseach ag éisteacht fosta.

Would it be sensible to make it clear also that a deal was not done on legacy debt in June?
