Cathal Crowe (FF), Clare

I bring to the Tánaiste's attention a very tragic case in County Clare, that of Jennifer Hynes, 42 years of age, in permanent residency in Mowlam nursing home in Ennis. Jennifer suffers from cerebral palsy, has daily seizures and is one of many young people in Irish nursing homes. The programme for Government promises to eliminate this practice and to get these people into more suitable permanent accommodation where their needs can be met. This is a tragic case. Jennifer is a fish out of water. It is a perfect nursing home but it is not perfect for her needs. I ask the Government to look at expediting these cases. They are tragic. We need to move them forward.
