Marie Louise O'Donnell: Although this is not my area, it is in the very good hands of Ms Maher who is an extraordinary advocate because it comes from her well, in that she has her own beautiful son.

I accept almost all of what the Minister of State is saying but is there a reason we did not get her notes beforehand?

Section 8 sets out the guiding principles, inherent in which is the minimisation of the restrictions on relevant persons. The principles include respect for the right to dignity, bodily integrity, privacy, autonomy and...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I take Senator Craughwell's point. I am making a more general argument about the way we are "processing" older people and that is the word for it in the sense that we will not consider having the fair deal scheme applying to the home in the same way that it operates in care settings but it would be helpful if could start there. In the Senator's case, it was not a practical option for his...
