Under the programme for Government, a commitment is given to improve respite care and facilities for people with disabilities. I note that the Minister, Deputy Harris, this morning announced the provision of a further 12 new respite facilities. I ask the Taoiseach to confirm that the facility in Kilmorna, Listowel, is one of these 12 and that the service will be funded on a seven-day, 52-week basis, as opposed to every second weekend, which was the last proposal the Department made. I will accept an answer later in the day if he does not have one now.
