Dáil row over care for MS woman

Lorraine Leake's young children have had to help her to go to the bathroom and dress herself despite repeated requests for more home help.

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said her case, highlighted in the Irish Examiner this week, was a heart-rending one and he would ask Health Minister Micheál Martin to take up the case.
