Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (29 Jun 2016)

Anne Rabbitte: I have questions on the ABC and the other early intervention programmes. The ABC programme runs from 2013 to 2016. Is there a plan in place for the future of the programme?

Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Staff Recruitment (28 Jun 2016)

Anne Rabbitte: While I accept the Minister of State’s reply, regrettably the frustration for the parents and the families in question is that the post, which was advertised, has not been filled.

When I said I would raise the issue on behalf of the parents, their only ask of me was if there was any way the post could...
