I ask the Minister of State to ensure there are no further cuts to ChildVision services for multi-disabled and blind children. For those who do not know, ChildVision is the national education centre for blind children and is based in Grace Park Road in Drumcondra, Dublin 9. It is an excellent service and over the past six years it has had to take cuts of some €821,000 or approximately 20%. Its costs of governing are in excess of €70,000 a year and it recently had additional costs in terms of registration feeds for HIQA of €50,000.
