Hildegarde Naughton (Galway West, Fine Gael)

I thank the Deputy. We had a great day in Mayo. I saw the faces of those young children when they had access to mobility trikes to be able to go for a walk and enjoy the greenways in Mayo with their families, which they could not do before. It is absolutely transformative. I thank those organisations for the work they do. I have Estimates and a budgetary process to go through but I see the value of these facilities for young people, not just for them but also their families. Now, for the first time ever, children can engage in activities that they could not do with their family. That is transformative. Funding for that is being finalised in my Department. These are the kinds of innovations that I am looking at around the country. They are sometimes things that I would never have thought of until I am out there to see it and its impact in action, not just for that child and family but from the point of view of a cultural shift where people see somebody with a disability living an active life, getting out in the fresh air and enjoying leisure activities, just like everybody else.
