Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

Among other embargoes, Mr. Bernard Gloster is saying there will be an embargo on home help workers. We already have a shortage of home help workers in County Kerry. Many people qualify and get approved for home help, but the home help never arrives for whatever reason. We have a real shortage already.
The other point I wish to make concerns an 86-year-old woman who was not approved the other day for the fair deal scheme. She was told she was fit enough to live in her own home. She cannot get home help.
