Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

From the work that I am doing with the Fine Gael policy lab, it is very clear that we need a new vision and a step-change in realising the potential we have from longer lives. To be fair to past strategies and current work, they are trying to break new ground. The real problem is the weakness in implementation across policy silos of Departments. Would the Taoiseach consider leadership in this important area coming from the Taoiseach's office? We need a new approach to planning, to providing accommodation for people as they grow older and a new approach to health. You will not get that combination without a cross-cutting strategy led by the Taoiseach.
