The Supreme Court judgment of 16 February 2005 related only to charges in public long stay institutions and publicly contracted beds in private nursing homes. A special Cabinet sub-committee comprising the Taoiseach, Deputy Ahern, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Cowen, the Attorney General, Mr. Brady and I has been established to consider the issue of repayment in light of the judgment.
