It cannot be stressed forcefully enough that these men and women are doing invaluable service for their community, often putting their lives at risk and doing it for no financial reward. At a minimum, we should afford them facilities that are fit for purpose. In 2019, to have volunteers working out of buildings that have no sanitary provisions is simply not good enough. The Minister did not wish to put a timeframe on the rolling out of the disabilities issue earlier, but clearly there should be a timeframe for when sanitary services will be available to these 16 facilities.
