Dean Maxwell nursing home

Summary

Deputy Kelly pressed for an update on the proposed closure of long-stay beds at Dean Maxwell nursing home in Roscrea. The Tánaiste said he had no update yet but would have the information sent directly to the Deputy.

I wish to ask about a constituency matter, the Dean Maxwell nursing home in Roscrea. This issue has been ongoing for a long time. It is proposed that the nursing home would be closed for long-stay residents. Everyone is totally against that. This is a bedrock and essential in Roscrea. Everything has changed since the Covid pandemic. There is a significant requirement to invest in public infrastructure and nursing homes. Given that a very good proposal has been sent by Age Friendly Roscrea and given that HIQA has signed off on it for another year, I ask the Tánaiste to give the House some information on the future of this, hopefully with some positive news for the people of Roscrea that this nursing home will remain for long-stay residents along with proposals to refurbish and rebuild it.

I am afraid I do not have an update on the Dean Maxwell nursing home. I sought one before coming here, but it was not available. I will have that sent directly to the Deputy.
