Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

My colleague, the Wexford councillor, John Dwyer, and others have raised the issue of the absence of supports in their respective communities where cases such as this have arisen. They have highlighted it repeatedly, and that is on the record, yet here is another situation where the agencies entrusted to respond did not, on the evidence presented, act as they could and should have done.
