On 24 February 2003, due to lack of core funding from the Department of Health and Children, CoAction was forced to announce service reductions, service closures and staff redundancies. The services affected include the Bakehouse, a premises which CoAction acquired in Bantry town and which will close at the end of March. Reendonegan Group Home will operate on a five day basis instead of its usual seven day basis and respite weekends for children and adults will be reduced by 75%, a loss of over 1,000 respite nights. Summer camps, which have traditionally been funded by CoAction, will now be provided on a pay-per-cost basis. It is also widely believed that in eight months time CoAction will run out of funds.
