I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy White, to the House. I was listening in my office to the contributions of various Senators. The contribution from the Sinn Féin Member in relation to home care was hilarious. During a telephone conversation with a friend of mine from Strabane, I was told the residential home there is due to close shortly. A number of other homes in Northern Ireland are also to be closed by the end of this year or early next year.
