Nursing Homes
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-18
============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

I am raising the issue of the recent ESRI report that made fairly damning findings about what is happening in the area of residential care for older people. We have seen the rapid closure of small, community-based nursing homes and a trend towards much bigger and much more commercial nursing homes, which is certainly not in the interests of older people. What is the Minister of State's response to that?
