Fair Deal Nursing Home Scheme: Statements (Resumed)
1:00 am
Martin Conway (Fine Gael)
I appreciate that. As the spokesperson for Fine Gael on disability and inequality, I wish to make one quick point. I have spoken in the House about the necessity to have a national debate on issues concerning elderly people. We should consider establishing a commission on the status of older people that would incorporate the 20 year strategy suggested by Senator Burke and other speakers. Perhaps the Minister of State might consider that for the future.
