Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Care of the Elderly (6 May 2021)

Pauline Tully: I welcome the fact that the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, has asked officials to give this model of care more consideration to determine if an expansion of the scheme is warranted.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Care of the Elderly (6 May 2021)

Pauline Tully: I wish to raise the issue of boarding out regulations which comes under SI 225 of 1993. As the date suggests, these regulations first came into operation in 1993.
