Worried families of nursing home residents at risk of losing their homes over a Fair Deal funding crisis have pleaded with the Taoiseach to intervene.
The group, whose loved ones live in Beaumont Residential Care (BRC) home in Cork City, issued the call during their second day of protest this week outside the constituency offices of senior Cabinet members.
