Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, Deputy Foley, and the Minister of State with responsibility for disabilities, Deputy Naughton, have a capital plan with an expanded envelope for 2026. We are trying to finalise that plan with them. Mr. O'Connell is meeting the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality this evening. I do not want to commit the Ministers but there is a preference towards the provision of community bed housing structure in each county. My preference is that they be run directly by the HSE and focus first on respite because that is the bigger need in children's services compared to long stay. However, we also have to make long-stay provision as well. There will be some exciting things happen in the area of respite next year.
