The Attorney General is understood to have found that legal advice provided to the government on nursing home fees was 'sound, accurate and appropriate'
The Attorney General has concluded that legal advice provided to the Government on nursing home fees was"sound, accurate and appropriate."
The newly-published report was brought to Cabinet earlier today, where it was decided that Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly and Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys would consider the report and revert within three months on what to do next. The Attorney General expressed the view that the public interest is the only interest - and that must include tax-payers.
In the Dáil last week, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said that the legal advice regarding the disability allowances was that the State"did not have a leg to stand on".
