Dan Neville (Limerick West, Fine Gael)

Members will recall the Monageer case, which involved a murder-suicide in Wexford in which two young children unfortunately died. One of the key recommendations of the Monageer report was that a full-time, 24-7 crisis intervention service would be available. It is available on a part-time basis at present. Will the Minister of State revisit the question of full-time service? His statement at the time was that the €12 million it would cost to save those lives was not available.
