Faraor, tá orm filleadh arís ar ábhar maidir le hionad lae i gcroílár na Gaeltachta in Áras Mhic Dara ar an gCeathrú Rua agus, faraor, tá sé fós dúnta, breis agus trí bliana tar éis dó a bheith dúnta i dtosach. Tá sé ardaithe go mion minic agam anseo agus fós, tá an t-aonad lae riachtanach seo dúnta.

I am returning to a subject I have raised many times, namely, the day centre that is closed in the heart of the Gaeltacht, in Áras Mhic Dara in Carraroe. I understand it may open in April, but I have been given that answer repeatedly up to now and I am seriously concerned about the closure of that day centre for more than three years.

I thank the Deputy for her question. To date, we have managed to reopen 92% of the nursing homes that were open before the Covid-19 pandemic. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we took the opportunity to carry out a risk assessment of every premises to see whether it was suitable from the point of view of infection prevention and control measures and the basics, that is, simple things such as having hot water in the bathrooms. We are trying to work through the issues in any that have difficulties. I will get a detailed note on that particular centre for the Deputy.
