Carraroe day centre closure
Deputy Connolly again raised the long-closed Carraroe day centre and said the HSE's explanations kept changing. The Minister of State said the HSE had opened it one day a week recently, claimed demand had been lacking, and promised an update.
The Deputy has raised the situation in Connemara several times. I sought an update on it this morning. As the Deputy knows, in my last contribution on this I said that the HSE facilitates the opening of the nursing home. It was in a staffing position to open it one day a week over the past six weeks. Unfortunately, the demand for a service has not been there. The HSE is advertising on local media and in a newspaper to let people know the facility has opened. I will revert to the Deputy as soon as I receive an update.
