Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I thank the Deputy. We certainly need to ensure we vindicate the rights of those people. I know the Deputy has raised the issue of Dealgan nursing home directly with the Taoiseach in the past. My understanding is that it is intended that the group set up to consider the issue will formally submit its report to the Minister for Health shortly. I will raise the matter directly with the Minister on the Deputy's behalf to ensure he is given an update. Any abuse of anyone, but in particular vulnerable adults, is absolutely reprehensible. That is why the Taoiseach and the Minister for Health have taken this matter seriously. I will seek an update from the Minister and revert to the Deputy.
