Marian Harkin (Sligo-Leitrim, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I wish to highlight the great work being done by Leitrim Volunteer Centre in providing a community car scheme to assist isolated and vulnerable people to attend hospital appointments, go to the pharmacy and pick up shopping etc. In fact, about 90% of all these trips are hospital appointments. It has become a go-to support system for the HSE with referrals from public health nurses and so on. The centre gets no funding of any kind. Could the Taoiseach bring this to the attention of the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Deputy Humphreys, and the HSE, to see if any support could be provided?
