Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I will have to double-check but my understanding is that an agreement was reached recently on increased pay and improved terms and conditions for people who work in home care. I hope that will make a difference. The other area where we have made a change is in work permits. We are allowing people to come here from outside Europe to work in home care, which had not been permitted in the past. People could come from overseas to work in nursing homes but not in home care. That change has also been made.
