Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

If I may, a Chathaoirligh, there is a category of people who could not get a bed in public nursing home, whether geriatric, psychiatric or whatever, and who had to pay in a private nursing home. While such people have a case, I decry the ambulance chasing of some politicians and some solicitors.

I welcome the decision to have gardaí travel with young people who are under age to discos. They will be in a position to detect any disorderly behaviour as a result of under age drinking. I hope they will relate information back to the parents and, if necessary, source the supply of alcohol. I am sure there will be many such cases.
