I will consider Deputy Byrne’s request this afternoon and see how we can progress it because the Deputy has been talking about it for a considerable time. I would have thought it would have been sorted out by now.

To respond to Deputy Ó Caoláin’s question about respite and Deputy McLellan’s comment about the 600,000 people and the breakdown of respite hours, I would not like the message to go out that everyone who is registered as having a disability wants respite because they do not.
