Mr. Ryan
I would draw the attention of the Deputy to my reply of 25th February, 1960, to a similar question.
I have since received no evidence of the general existence of conditions which would warrant interference in this matter by way of State registration of nursing homes and do not propose to introduce legislation on it in the present Dáil.
