In order to arrive at a situation where that can apply, the structure of the way we deliver services and how Government and its agencies and the services of the State are run need to be changed drastically in many cases. That does not happen overnight. Deputy Finian McGrath referred to the 240 parents, of whom 147 have serious difficulties. I invite him to...
