Public Accounts Committee: Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion (1 Oct 2020)

Matt Carthy: I know the HSE is dealing with a wide range of cases. If we say the average public cost for nursing home care is €1,564 and for private it is €968, what is the associated average cost if we were to extrapolate for the patients who are in nursing homes to have home care packages?

Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (30 Sep 2020)

Matt Carthy: I want to speak in support of the point Deputy Cairns made.
