Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I had a great day in Hartstown last week with the Deputy, the Tánaiste and the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration, and Youth, Deputy O'Gorman, and the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers. There was a good turnout on the day. It was a lovely event. I thank all the local volunteers and the committee in Hartstown for the work they put into the application. This was the centre about which concerns were expressed some years ago regarding whether it would survive. I saw the "Save Hartstown" signs in place myself last week, so we are delighted that we have been able to support it. It would be a desperate blow for that community if the centre was not maintained.
