John Moloney (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I certainly do and I share the Deputy's concern. Developments will include new day places for young people leaving school and additional therapy supports for preschool children and for children with autism. It also is important to point this out. I also understand the Health Service Executive will be able to finalise the position in respect of the commencement of the developments, including those required to meet the needs of school leavers with disabilities, over the next ten days. I suggest this should be a sufficiently strong commitment to be able to assure the Deputy and all concerned.
