CEO Tadhg Daly says there is a crisis in the sector due to rising costs and staffing issues and many of his members feel their survival is under threat:

“Clearly over 500 beds across the sector have closed already. And I’ve spoken to many members right across the country, including locally in Carlow and Kilkenny who are saying can we go on?”
