Home from Home funding
Michael Healy-Rae seeks adequate structural funding for the Home from Home service supporting children with special needs in Killarney. The Taoiseach will ask the relevant Ministers to follow up, noting that parts of the special educational needs legislation remain unimplemented.
The Home from Home family support service in the Ballydowney area of Killarney offers after-school activities to children with special needs, many of whom have needs that require a one-on-one service. The Taoiseach kindly opened the service.

He made a substantial personal donation which we all very much appreciated.

I will. Why has this vital service not received the recognition that it deserves in the form of adequate structural funding?

I am asking this question in the context of the Education For Persons with Special Educational Needs Act. The Taoiseach is well aware of this excellent service.

Elements of the Act have not been implemented. I am not sure about which section the Deputy is talking.
