Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I spoke to a young mother in my constituency last week. She lives in Swords and has a daughter who is autistic and needs supports. She has been forced to cancel the therapies she pays for privately for her child. She said to me - forgive my language, Leas-Cheann Comhairle – “I have been made to feel like a shit mother.” She is not a "shit mother". She is doing her damn best and the only thing she had left to cut were the therapies. They are gone now and her child will wait four years.
