Mary Lou challenges Government on disability payments and nursing home refunds

Speaking in the Dáil at Leaders’ Questions this week Mary Lou McDonald asked why successive governments denied people disability payments and nursing home refunds that they were entitled to.

Why, instead of standing up for people, did governments face down some of the most vulnerable people in our society?

Heartless political strategy was fundamentally wrong

Meanwhile, speaking on RTÉ News this week, Dvaid Cullinane said it is fundamentally wrong that the government devised a heartless political strategy to prevent elderly people and their families, who were illegally charged for nursing home care and ripped-off for 30 years, from getting compensation.

Domestic electricity customers to get refunds

After Sinn Féin raised the issue last week of domestic customers being overcharged on their electricity bills for a disgraceful scheme that forced families to subsidise big businesses, this week we had confirmation that monies will be repaid.
