Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Regarding respite, and the Deputy raised this issue with me last week, I have sought a comprehensive report on this issue in the Galway area. Respite is happening in other areas and I will furnish that information to the Deputy as soon as I get it. I have answered the question regarding the day care centres. Work is under way and the task force is in place, but it must be safe to do so. There were 393 cases of Covid-19 today, so we are trying to take a cautious approach in this regard. We want to open these day care centres and not to close them again.
