Health (Amendment) (Home Support Providers) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2026-05-20
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I accept what the Minister of State said. It is about making sure we do not end up with an anomaly that allows for people to work in an unregulated system. There is also an absolute requirement to deal with the issue of personal assistants. It is about making sure that happens. All we want is a framework that works so the correct level of homecare and personal assistance can be provided to those who require it. I put a particular emphasis on those with disabilities, because it is sometimes forgotten about.
