Children’s mental-health services
Senator Moran requests a debate on mental-health services for children and young people, especially those aged 16 to 18, while also noting the deaf advocacy service closure.
I am looking for a debate on the delivery of mental health services for children and young people, particularly for children in the 16 to 18 year age group.
I wish to mention the closure last week of the National Deaf Advocacy Service. Recently I watched the video forwarded by the Irish Deaf Society which highlights the significant impact the deaf world has had on those who use the service. I understand that the Irish Deaf Society is appealing the decision through Pobal.

We had a vote on that this morning. It was on that particular issue.

I know that. I have written to the Minister on the issue.
