Éamon Ó Cuív: We need to drop a matrix so that we can consider making a choice, taking into account sustainability, local control, employment and other considerations.

Éamon Ó Cuív: I compliment the Technical Group for tabling this motion. I do not believe we can discuss disability issues too frequently in the Dáil. There are hard choices to be made when money is scarce. The idea that we should throw endless money at a problem is a fallacy. However, there are things we could tackle and things we could do better. I believe the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen...
