Summary
Homecare access for elders is wildly unequal across Ireland—while Dublin moves at lightning speed, rural counties like Cork, Clare, and Waterford face wait times stretching into hundreds or even thousands. This gap forces painful choices: nursing homes sooner or hospital stays longer. At the heart of it? Underfunding, especially for travel costs that crush rural carers—and a system that’s grown more strained despite doubled budgets. A call for caregiver registration and real equity is urgent.
