Senator Leyden raised the closure of CWO offices in Keadue, Ballinlough and Rooskey. It is regrettable. I do not believe the way forward is to close satellite clinics or community welfare offices. We have received categoric assurances from the Department of Social Protection and the Minister that where somebody feels discommoded and cannot travel to a clinic, the community welfare officer will call out to his or her house. Nobody will be left without a service.
