My information is there is none available in Wexford and the family has been offered no respite for ten years. They are now being offered respite, but it is in Enniskerry. The concern is that it is a long way for an autistic child to be removed for respite and for a family to have to travel in the event a difficulty arises. I appreciate everything cannot be solved on the one day. Is it the case that Tusla depends on the HSE to provide respite facilities?
