Madam, - I noted with interest the reports from the FF Ardfheis in which the Taoiseach advised that the Government intended to increase the amount of home care packages next year by 300 per cent.
The elderly population of Ireland would be better off if he eliminated the 21 per cent VAT on home care fees and cater for those older persons who pay for private home care and do not qualify for home care packages. - Yours, etc,
