Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (26 May 2009)

James Reilly: Indeed, and those who have inherited it like to hold onto it and not have it taken from them by the Minister and the Revenue Commissioners. Regarding what Deputy Ó Fearghaíl said, in sections 7(8) and 7(9), the Minister gives the lie to the fact she is taking into consideration the matters raised by Deputy Connaughton and others. She has raised the issue and then, in section 7(8), she...

Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (26 May 2009)

James Reilly: We are curtailed by time. There are many elderly people in the country who have been encouraged to let younger people on the land or who have let their land. Are they being described in 8(b), which states, "a substantial part of the working day of the person requiring care services or his or her partner was regularly and consistently applied to the farming of the farm"? What interval does...

James Reilly: The Department was not meant to see that as exclusive. I hate to interrupt the Minister of State and I have not done so before. She is intimating that the IFA may have asked that sudden illness be taken into account but it did not ask that this would be the only way illness would be taken into account. The Minister of State has reversed its request to exclude 99% of people in this position.

Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (26 May 2009)

James Reilly: I appreciate the Minister has moved some way to meeting our concerns with some of the amendments she alludes to. Some amendments were discussed earlier in a batch rather than individually. I seek indulgence to be able to go through these amendments as some are without objection from me as the Minister of State has come some of the way. If I looked for 15 days, for example, the Minister of...

Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (26 May 2009)

James Reilly: My amendment No. 17 seeks to ensure there is an identifiable individual, not necessarily from the HSE, and that there is some onus of responsibility placed on some third party to ensure people get the requisite help needed. Some mechanism should be in place which would allow an identifiable third party, say a family solicitor or the executor of a will, to represent a patient who has become...

Nursing Homes Support Scheme Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (26 May 2009)

James Reilly: I support my colleague, Deputy O'Sullivan, in this regard. It is eminently reasonable, if Members will pardon the pun, to insert this word. There has been a sense that attempts have been made in the past by various arms of the State to frustrate people in their rights by creating additional hurdles for them to jump through. Clearly this would be a classic case, particularly as one is...

James Reilly: To follow on from that, for related but not specific information there is a sense in Nursing Homes Ireland that it is being asked to give full disclosure of its accounts in regard to its dealings with the NTPF, which it feels is grossly unfair.
