Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-14
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I do not believe it is a discrepancy. This is a new amendment to the Bill and there are no successors in this legislation until it has been enacted. The Bill will go through the Seanad tomorrow and Friday and will be enacted within 90 days. I took on board the amendment. This means that a successor can only be appointed after the Bill has been enacted. Someone who has been a successor for the past five, six or 11 years is, therefore, not a successor, as defined in this legislation.
