There is a relatively simple view that if children have to wait for two and half or three years in Kerry and Cork for speech and language therapy, we must hire ten therapists now and when they are hired, we must be nice to them so that they do not leave. If they need to go on maternity leave, their absence should be covered. For the love of Jesus, if we know that children are waiting for three years, why is the HSE not hiring the therapists needed to bring those waiting lists down?
