Will your parent need to avail of the optional nursing home loan ?What I'd like to do, is try and get my parent into full time care, via the Fair Deal Scheme. However, I believe that will necessitate getting a legal ruling (if that can be obtained).
I am in the process of making an Enduring Power of Attorney. My solicitor is pushing me to get it done before the new system comes in on 26 April,...........is my solicator my friend or not?
I'm inclined to agree. Even reading the press release, three phrases jumped out at me that should ring alarm bells very loudly.The general view in legal circles, in the absence of any good specific information (very lacking right now) on the post 26th April situation, is that the current EPA situation is better all round for the Donor.

Thanks MF1 and Right Winger for your replies. I am going with the existing system. I did send an e-mail to Mr O'Gorman's office asking for clarification on charges within the new system but have not received a reply. If I do get a reply from him I will post it on here.I'm inclined to agree. Even reading the press release, three phrases jumped out at me that should ring alarm bells very loudly.
First we are told that the new system is "progressive". This is code in left-wing circles for vastly expanded state involvement, state expenditures and an implementing state infrastructure that will require increased tax revenue to support and nurture it. And we know how that usually works out.
Secondly, the system will be "rights based." The alarm bells are getting louder now. Whenever you hear an advocacy group or NGO call for a "rights-based" system, this is code for "we want the general public to give us lots of stuff but we know there's no popular support for this so let's get it enacted in legislation as a right and the Courts will give it to us instead."
Thirdly, and now the alarm bells reach fever pitch, are the ominous words "Roderic O'Gorman". Yes, he of the never ending ability to spend taxpayers money on his progressive, rights-based whims. Own door accomodation for all asylum claimants, genuine or bogus, remember that? And his wheeze to give "climate refugees" a rights-based invitation to migrate here. To own door accomodation, of course. There is truly no end to this man's talent at spending your money. Defund him now.
