In some cases, they have a certain amount of care already but they need an extra person, an extra carer, to help out where, for example, there might be a hoist in use and two people are needed to operate it. I pay tribute to and thank the home care teams in Kerry for their assistance,...

There were 5,882 children in care at that time with 90% in foster care and 450 in residential care, yet recently in the budget there was no increase of any significant amount for the foster carers who shore up the system and keep it afloat.

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister of State. What is going on here is unbelievably bureaucratic in that the reinforced ceiling costs can be provided for but something that requires the assistance of a carer cannot.
