Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Faraor, tá orm an t-ionad lae atá fós dúnta i gcroílár na Gaeltachta sa Cheathrú Rua a ardú arís. Tá sé ardaithe go mion minic agam ach, faraor, níl aon rud athraithe ach amháin go bhfuil na critéir atá leagtha síos ag Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte i bhfad níos deacra anois. Tá sí ag rá nach bhfuil aon éileamh ann.

Unfortunately, I have to once again talk about the closed day centre in Carraroe. It remains closed, three years on from the onset of Covid. I have almost a library of responses. They change by the week. First of all, the HSE could not open it. Then it needed a new place. Then it said there are new criteria and people had to be able to have their own transport and take their own medication. Then it said there was no demand and the bus was broken. An essential service remains closed three years later.
