I remind Deputies that they each have one minute and the Taoiseach has one minute to respond to each.

I am very heartened to see that at least one Member got actual answers to his question. I am sure the fact the question was put by a member of a Government party is not lost on anybody.

I have been in contact with Paul Guy, whose father, Audeon Guy, was referenced by the Taoiseach. As he knows, the family have gone public on the shocking abuse their father endured in Beneavin Manor nursing home.

He is a lovely man. The sight of him left neglected, man-handled, disrespected and forced into a chair was shocking to watch. The family are utterly devastated. Paul has said that nobody should have to go through what his father endured, and he is quite correct. It is 20 years on from Leas Cross and the best the Taoiseach can tell the Dáil is that adult safeguarding legislation will come to the Government shortly. Twenty years on, there is no mandatory reporting and no legal right for social care teams to enter care homes to investigate complaints. Enough of the crocodile tears. We need action and a response and for it to be timetabled and delivered quickly.

The testimony of Paul Guy has been very impactful. As I said earlier to Deputy Bacik, who raised this question on Leaders' Questions, it is very traumatic for families generally with loved ones in nursing homes but particularly for the Guy family. Legislation is already in place to deal with what happened in these nursing homes. We do not need new adult safeguarding legislation to deal with what happened to Audeon Guy. It should not have happened. It was abuse.

It did happen.

It was abuse. We have a regulatory authority and legislation there. A lot of work has been done in the past year on adult safeguarding, the policy is near completion and there will be legislation. What happened should not have happened and there are already laws there to deal with it. Implication and oversight are required.
