A home care organisation is welcoming plans to make home care a statutory right.
Minister for Older People Kieran O’Donnell says he wants to keep people in their homes as long as possible, with a Fair Deal style scheme.
Home and Community Care Ireland says it supports the minister’s plan, but warns the scheme was nearly ready in 2020 before being kicked down the road.
Chief Executive Joseph Musgrave says there are a few steps that need to be taken to make this a reality.
