Varadkar defends controversial 'legal strategy' for limiting nursing home payouts

Opposition parties have called on the Government to release documents relating to the strategy.

The government has confirmed the legal strategy existed to block refunds to nursing home residents and that the plan was "pursued by successive governments".

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar agreed with the policy, calling it a "sound policy approach" and "legitimate legal strategy".

Wexford TD Verona Murphy told The Journal that some families who have contacted her feel "aggrieved" at the legal strategy, as they made sacrifices in order to pay for the nursing home care.
