David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am raising this question on behalf of a wonderful, young and fun-loving woman who has Down's syndrome. She is just about to finish second-level education, where she had a great experience and for which she had transport and so on. She is now going on to Cork city from quite a distance away and transport is an issue. She is very vulnerable. In some cases, she has to change buses and she cannot do that. Her parents are working. The HSE has no funding to provide support and neither has the Cope Foundation. Perhaps the Minister will tell us what help he can provide in this instance.
