We invested €12 million in building a new 89 bed nursing home facility with the intention of creating over 100 new jobs in the Swords, Co. Dublin area and wished to highlight the added cost to the State (€4800 per bed, per week) of not availing of our empty nursing home beds at a time it should be encouraging inward investment in building new facilities in order to meet the forecast demand of 8000 new nursing home beds required by 2021.
