Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Will the Minister outline her expectations with regard to moving from the two pilot projects to the State-wide roll-out? Does she envisage it will happen in the short term? How quickly does she expect such a situation will be arrived at? What has she deduced from the information that has been received to date? Has anything been recommended in the a preliminary reports? If so, could any of the recommendations be adopted now? Is the Minister proposing to wait until the process has been completed and all the information is to hand? Can anything be learned from what has already been reported? If so, can it be addressed or implemented in the short term in a manner that would make the required difference? As the Minister has said, the pilot out of hours social work service is being tested in two locations. Is she considering extending the pilot project to other testing locations within the jurisdiction on an interim basis in advance of the State-wide roll-out?
