Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

This is very interesting and significant because we have a major crisis on the ground. People are suffering and services are burdened with people who should be at home with carers but cannot. There are many other implications, not to mention the backbreaking work carried out predominantly by women going in and out with terrible conditions, which the Minister of State has set out. Does it look like the critical skills evaluation list will not be changed to include home carers because there is no evidence? Who should be giving that evidence? Where is it?
Am I over time?
