Disability services during summer

Summary

Deputy Finian McGrath raises concerns about summer provision at Prosper Fingal and St. Michael’s House. The Taoiseach says services should continue regardless of the pending health and social care professionals Bill and will raise the matter with the Minister.

Deputy Finian McGrath.

Sorry, there was confusion with my colleague, Deputy Mattie McGrath.

Will the real McGrath please stand up?

Comment on this

I refer to the health and social care professionals Bill. Is the Taoiseach aware that there are major concerns at Prosper Fingal services in Swords and St. Michael's House services in regard to services for people with disabilities for the summer months of July and August? Will he raise this issue with the Minister, because it is very important that these services are up and running during July and August?

Services should continue to be supplied in the absence of the Bill, as one would expect. I will advise the Deputy when I speak to the Minister about it.
