Query over €1m bonus v €50 home help
Fine Gael TD Padraic McCormack told the public accounts committee how a small farmer in Clonbur, Co Galway, was managing to keep his elderly mother at home since 2005 with eight hours of home help provided by the HSE.
When one of the assistants left last year because of family reasons, the farmer was unable to get a replacement because of the recruitment embargo.
