Adjournment Matters. - Services for People with Disabilities.

 

I understand from the Western Health Board that since the fire, the Brothers of Charity Services, which provides the services based in the Orchard Centre, has made arrangements for an interim programme to be delivered to those attending the centre along the lines mentioned by Senator Burke. The programme is being delivered in four rented houses and at one of the service's own houses. The fact that this interim service was put in place within ten days of the fire is due to the tremendous efforts made by the staff of the Orchard Centre and the significant support that has been forthcoming from the people of Gort. I am happy to record my thanks to all concerned for their dedication and total commitment in the provision of such services.
