The fanfare and dust has settled in Páirc Uí Chaoimh after the re-hash of the NDP. The Government picked a suitable venue to kick the ball around the place and kick it over and back between different parties and party leaders. The people of Tipperary Town are extremely disappointed. Jobs4Tipp, March4Tipp, County Tipperary Chamber and Councillor Anne Marie Ryan, and many others, are devastated the bypass for Tipperary town, on which the Taoiseach glibly answered me here last week, was ignored completely. There was no mention of it. We have to have the bypass of Tipperary town, based on the footprint of the new M24 from Limerick to Waterford, on which huge work has been done. It is almost shovel ready. The design stage is under way. One cannot live in the town. The Minister, Deputy Ryan, and the Taoiseach know that. We must get a mention of that. We cannot have the ball just be kicked around the can kicked down the road. Stay away from Páirc Uí Chaoimh, because it is sometimes not a good place for Dublin either. People have to get some certainty.

As Deputy McGrath will know, the NDP commits Government to an overall investment of €165 billion in infrastructure, throughout the country, which is unprecedented. I will raise the matter of the Tipperary town bypass, on the Deputy's behalf. This is the first time we have an NDP here that is fully funded. It is now about delivery of these projects, to which Government is really committed. I will raise the project the Deputy mentioned with the Taoiseach and the Minister for Transport.

The Minister will probably be glad to hear I will not be raising mica today. I raised it yesterday during Leaders' Questions.

I heard.

I will ask about respite care in County Donegal. On 25 May, I asked the Minister, Deputy Ryan, the same question on the Order of Business. He told me he would refer to the relevant Minister for response and, as usual, we have no response. I have heard nothing since. Is it a case there is no relevant Minister or that the Minister is not relevant? Either way, the issue is still an ongoing problem throughout Donegal. That day, I asked specifically about the restoration of a seven-day service, by operators Rehab, to Seaview House in Mountcharles. With regard to Riverwalk House in Carndonagh, people have contacted me who have not had respite in three years. This inadequate provision is compounded by other factors such as the lack of available supervision for ancillary services and families being refused the July provision. The knock-on, detrimental effects on the well-being and mental health of families is huge. I see it first-hand in my offices every day. Will the Government please make adequate provision for respite care or at least provide straight answers to our questions?

I am sorry the Deputy feels previous questions he has asked on respite care in Donegal have not been adequately answered. I will take his word on that and commit to talking to the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, and his officials today to make sure the Deputy receives a comprehensive answer on respite care. The Government has made significant strides in the past 12 months on the provision of respite care and additional resources. That has, obviously, been hampered by Covid as well, but I will ensure the Deputy gets a comprehensive answer on the questions he asked. At least, he will be aware of what information is in that space. I will do that today.
