Martin Kenny (Sligo-Leitrim, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is the same situation in Sligo-Leitrim. We have a huge problem there with respite services for children with disabilities. Solas house in Sligo has been closed and we were promised a new one would be put in place. There is supposed to be a house in Tullaghan that would serve north Leitrim, Sligo and south Donegal. So far, after months and months of waiting, nobody has been admitted to it. We need to get this in place because there are families out there trying to take care of vulnerable people and they get no break whatsoever. All we are getting is promises. It is time something was done about it.
