Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Aontaím leis an Teachta faoin tábhacht a bhaineann le seirbhísí faoisimh, agus admhaím go bhfuil easpa ann faoi láthair. Is gá iad a thabhairt ar ais agus seirbhísí faoisimh a chur ar fáil. De réir dealraimh beidh siad ag teacht ar ais diaidh ar ndiaidh agus beidh mé ag caint leis an Aire Stáit, an Teachta Butler, ar thaobh amháin den scéal agus an tAire Stáit, an Teachta Rabbitte, ar an taobh eile.

I will be talking to the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, about elderly care, day care, respite and Alzheimer's services, which are being restored gradually. The same is the case with respite care for disability services, which is also being restored gradually. I will get the up-to-date position for the Deputy from both Ministers of State.
