On speech and language supports, the current waiting time for the Dublin South-West school age team is 42 months. There are 80 waiting to go on the list and there are 297 on the list itself. I raised this six months ago and was told then the waiting time was 36 months. It is now 42 months. I am at a loss as to how to move this forward. I have contacted the Minister. I have talked to the Minister of State with responsibility for disability. There is something wrong. There is something broken in the area in this regard if the waiting time for speech and language therapy is 42 months. I am at a loss. Is there any way the Taoiseach can intervene?
