I thank the Senator for remembering the life and sacrifice of Deputy Hales on this, the 100th anniversary of his death, as Senator Lombard has said, on his way to this Parliament. I would like us to continue that debate on the care of older people in nursing homes and home care settings early in the new year. Senator Lombard spoke about former Deputy Seán Hales, who lost his life on this day 100 years ago.
Senator Fitzpatrick spoke on the positive progress being made in north inner-city Dublin and referenced the north east inner city progress report for 2022, showing the fantastic initiatives, particularly around education, taking place in the north inner city. Senator Mullen spoke about nursing home and home and care settings.
