Seven-day home help
Michael Healy-Rae asks that promised seven-day home help be provided where necessary; the Taoiseach says the Minister is aware of the issue, before the Chair closes the Order of Business.
I would like to make the Minister for Health aware that there was also a commitment given with regard to seven-day home help being made available where it is necessary. I ask him to ensure that this happens, please.
Comment on this
The Minister is aware of the issue raised in Deputy Healy-Rae's last comment in respect of the seven-day provision.
Deputy Michael Healy-Rae is well aware that the Government has decided to introduce a basic bank account for post offices so that such business can be conducted in post offices as some extra assistance to them to continue to exist in the time ahead. I will bring Deputy Michael Healy-Rae's comment to the notice of the Minister.
