Cara Darmody meeting
Deputy Browne asked for a direct response on Cara Darmody's campaign. The Minister of State said the Taoiseach, Minister of State Naughton and she would meet Cara and her parents the next day and would address the four requested actions.
Is there any response on Cara Darmody?
Comment on this
I thank the Deputy for raising this matter which was also raised earlier on as part of the questions. The Taoiseach, the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, and I are meeting Cara and her parents tomorrow at 1 p.m. We will address the four points the Deputy mentioned. It is important to have on the record of the Dáil that €11.89 million has been put in place for long waiters so that no parent has to spend the money. We will pay the clinicians directly for any child who has been waiting a long time for an assessment of need.
