I need to correct the Deputy on a fact. He said it is not open. Of the three residents living in Drumboe Respite House at present, the plan is that two residents will move to Slieve Sneacht, Letterkenny. A technical assessment will be completed this week and a programme of minor works will be completed on the house. This has been prioritised in the programme of work and the move will be facilitated as soon as possible to do so. One resident has been identified for a joint placement with an external provider. Compatibility assessments are under way and this will be progressed on completion of compatibility and the engagement process with the external provider. Should the joint placement not be feasible, an alternative provider will be resourced. Drumboe Respite House will be used for respite, freeing it up completely for the families the Deputy is speaking about.
