Michael Ring

Question:

79 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) who lives in a residential home in County Cork cannot be transferred to Áras Attracta, Swinford, County Mayo in view of the fact that his father lives in County Mayo and cannot travel the long distance to be with his son.

Minister of State at the Department of Health (Mr. O'Shea)

As it would not be appropriate for me to give details of this person's case in my response, I will communicate the details of the case separately to the Deputy.
