Seven-day home help

Summary

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.

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.

That completes the Order of Business. My apologies to the nine other Members who had indicated that they wanted to speak but those Members who consume an enormous amount of time do not leave time for other Members to contribute.
