John Brady: -----and that is a failure of this Government and that of the Minister.

Joe O'Brien: I again refute the word "lie". The Deputy was not lied to. What happens is, because these situations are fluid and because we move early, that information can change. What little bit of knowledge I have of the situation to which he refers, information changed and was not communicated in a way it should have been. That is very different from being lied to. Members of the CET are trying...

Joe O'Brien: I can only talk about the community engagement team and how it is working. It is working very well because there are lots of places opening and there is not an issue because the information is getting out. It has not worked perfectly everywhere but we are learning as we go along and it is improving.

Aindrias Moynihan: I ask the Minister about the efforts to ensure there is adequate access to residential respite services for young people with complex needs and their family carers in the Cork area.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Care Services (18 Jun 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. The Government and the HSE are very much aware of the importance of respite service provision for the families of both children and adults with disabilities and the positive impact it can have on people’s lives. Respite is a key priority area for the HSE for people with disabilities and their families, and there has been significant...

Aindrias Moynihan: First, I acknowledge the various services that are being delivered, including at the likes of Enable Ireland, where I understand 48 children are accessing residential respite in the area, and CoAction, which has capacity for two to three per night. I refer also to St. Joseph's Foundation, the Cope Foundation and Brothers of Charity Services Ireland, which are offering real meaningful...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Healthcare Infrastructure Provision (18 Jun 2024)
Anne Rabbitte: Regarding the right front door, it is called the national access policy, NAP. This is a HSE policy document. Under the leadership of Bernard Gloster I have seen huge improvements in communication between primary healthcare, CAMHS, acute services and disability services. They are talking to one other and not working in silos. Granted, there are variances across the country. Some are...

Mick Barry: 32. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to provide an update on attempts to re-establish childcare and early learning facilities at a location in Churchfield, Cork (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26300/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (18 Jun 2024)
Mick Barry: I ask the Minister to provide an update on attempts to re-establish childcare and early learning facilities at the site of the old Before 5 Family Centre in Churchfield in Cork city.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (18 Jun 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. From his engagement and that of other Deputies from Cork I am well aware of the issues facing Northside Community Enterprise and of the funding that is required to support the reopening of the Before 5 Family Centre in Churchfield. The centre is in an area of undersupply and of high need for childcare places. The ambition of Northside Community...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (18 Jun 2024)
Mick Barry: When the Before 5 Family Centre was closed suddenly last August, the community lost a facility it had enjoyed for 50 years. It lost a pre-school, an after-school service, childcare provision, play therapy and adult services. More than 100 parents lost out directly. More than 150 children lost out directly and 14 workers lost out directly. There are three other childcare providers in the...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (18 Jun 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: I do not accept the Deputy's assertion that it is moving at a snail's pace. We are looking to create a new funding stream that will deal with situations like this where there is an existing service that is using a building that is no longer fit for purpose and requires significant capital support. That requires my Department to engage with the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Childcare Services (18 Jun 2024)
Mick Barry: I suggest that the Minister ask the parents in the area whether they think things are moving at a snail's pace or not. I do not think the Minister would be too surprised by the reply he would get. The delays in this case are unforgivable. The family centre was shut last year at the end of August. That should have been the signal for urgency in organising a replacement. On 6 February, the...
