The Government has no plans at this point to establish an ombudsman for older persons. However, it would fall to the relevant Minister with responsibility for policy regarding older persons to consider and to bring forward such a proposal, and to determine any associated costs in the first instance.
I would also like to highlight to the Deputy that older persons are entitled to use the services of all existing Ombudsman offices for any complaint regarding the manner in which public services are provided.
