The Deputy has rightly summarised the significance of Enable Ireland. They are present in nearly every CHO area. They lead 20 of our community disability network teams in doing such important work with children. They are an example of the real importance the community and voluntary has in terms of the work that the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, and I are doing on disability with section 39 organisations and also with the work Tusla does in meeting the needs of children with section 56 organisations. This is why it is really important that this WRC process has commenced and that there is engagement taking place at the moment. I want that engagement to come to a fruitful conclusion that can make provision for these organisations in a way that will allow for greater investment within them. I cannot give a blow-by-blow account. We are in a process right now and I am sure the Deputy understands that but I want to see a resolution here.
