This is a question about the Cavan disability network team. It is experiencing a significant staffing crisis, which is having a huge impact on the team's capacity to provide services for children and their families. There are approximately 650 children waiting for various therapies and interventions, and 12 posts are vacant. Is there anything we can do to address this vacancy crisis, which is having a huge impact? The bottom line is that a letter I have states that kids will be waiting over two years for that intervention.

I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. I have a meeting with CHO 1 next week to address the issues facing Enable Ireland in the Cavan area and to address exactly what the Deputy has raised and what we can do in the interim to assist with recruitment and retention in that service.
