‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Care of Aged. Fuel shortages outside Dublin
Summary
Mr. Blaney said fuel, particularly turf, was scarce outside Dublin and gas was also difficult to obtain; the Minister acknowledged difficulties and pointed to community efforts in Donegal.
Is the Minister aware of the lack of fuel outside the Dublin area, particularly the lack of turf? There is now the added complication that gas has become difficult to obtain as well. Dublin is not the only place suffering at present from this difficulty.
Comment on this
I accept that, but the Deputy will appreciate the density of old people living alone in Dublin is much higher. I would have though Donegal was one of the counties in which a fairly effective system was operating and where there was a very good community effort.
