Martin Ferris (Kerry North, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the cutbacks in the CSP project which means that Kerry respite care will lose €42,481 in grant funding, endangering the continued position of over 30 employees and the care provided for between 80 to 90 clients each week in their own homes and communities, and the huge blow that any cuts in jobs and provision will mean for the people concerned who are among the most vulnerable in society and who will be forced back into greater poverty and isolation as a consequence.
