Dr. Ronan Glynn:

It is but it is more than that. It is also a matter of what every organisation and sports club is doing. What are they doing to cut down contacts? What is every business doing? What is every shopping centre in the county doing? What is every transport operator doing to make what are difficult choices somewhat easier? I do not believe we are seeing enough evidence of that. Anecdotally, based on the volume of traffic on the roads, it is hard to believe people have taken to heart the message that they should not be going to work unless it is absolutely essential.

I wish to direct my questions to the Minister. I would appreciate it if he could give me a straight answer because there is some confusion on this at the moment. Precisely how much money is being given to enable full reopening of day services for people with disabilities? I know that €10 million was announced this week. In Dáil statements on 10 September, the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, announced €40 million towards reopening. She also mentioned an allocation as part of the winter plan and there seems to be a change in that. There is confusion and I ask the Minister to clarify it.
