Tadhg Daly, chief executive of Nursing Homes Ireland. Chief executive of Nursing Homes Ireland Tadhg Daly warned that the fallout could mean higher fees through the Fair Deal scheme, and some homes forced to close. For nursing homes and other firms with existing polices, it will honour them up to the time they expire. There are about 430 nursing homes in Ireland, and their insurance costs have already doubled between 2010 and 2017, and continue to rise. He said the income of nursing homes was largely set by the State, through the Fair Deal scheme.
