Care, Supports and Enhanced Provision of Services for Older People: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2025-03-05
============================================================

Mike Kennelly (FG), Labour Panel

I am sorry. Over recent times we have seen a rise also in burglaries. I am proposing that older people be reimbursed when they install home alarms, so they can live without any threat to their safety. I wish to formally propose that after all the storms, especially Storm Éowyn. We should seriously target our elderly and sick people living at home and ensure funding is immediately made available to install a generator and all associated works for our elderly in the next budget under the housing adaptation grants.
The out-of-hours services provided by SouthDoc in the Listowel and north Kerry area is not available. I call on the Minister to appeal to the SouthDoc service to come back and reinstate their work hours.
