Order of Business.

Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)
I will not mention the name but today we had a statement to the effect that the nursing home charges would not be paid. That is incorrect. Like the Cathaoirleach and many others, I received many queries about the matter and made an inquiry about it. Legislation is being prepared and it is hoped it will be passed by both Houses before the summer but it is incorrect to say the Government is moving away from its commitment. It is not and I want to strongly confirm that.
