Claire Kerrane (SF), Roscommon-Galway

I begin by thanking the Taoiseach and everyone else who played a part in the very swift action to ensure that Tori Towey is brought home. Tori grew up in my hometown of Ballaghaderreen and the town, the county and, indeed, the entire country have been right behind her. I know she has been overwhelmed by the support she has received. I look forward to seeing her come home.
I will raise with the Taoiseach the ongoing crisis in home care. More than 600 people in County Galway are waiting for either a new home care package or additional supports they have been found to be entitled to. More than 100 people in County Roscommon are also waiting. There is an ongoing crisis in home care. What is the Taoiseach going to do to ensure our very vulnerable citizens who need such care receive it?
