Ruairi Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have already brought up the issue of the chaotic circumstances we find in respect of the context this question refers to, the specific issues we have to deal with and the supports that are not there if we are talking about the council, Tusla or the Garda in dealing with these matters. I heard the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, talk about a plan to run over the next several years, but we need more detail on targeted family supports so we can get in early and deal with these issues rather than needing the nuclear options, unfortunately, when this does not happen.

I had also hoped to bring up under SET allocations in a previous question the matter of Bay Estate, my local school, and the lost hours and that of Scoil Naomh Lorcan in Omeath. The principal has written to me. There is an appeal process but my fear is everyone will be in such an appeal process. If complex needs are not being taken into account, this will be another issue in itself.
