Departmental Administrative Arrangements
Dail Éireann — 2025-03-04
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

We are working to see if we can ensure places for children next September.
I agree with Deputy Cian O'Callaghan that nursing homes are not suitable for young people who have a chronic illness or a significant disability. My understanding is that the number had come down in recent times but I will speak to the Minister for Health and the Minister of State with responsibility for nursing homes with a view to seeing what we can do to reduce and eliminate that.
I did not fully get what Deputy McGreehan spoke about, the public sector-----
