I thank the Cathaoirleach for that guidance and assistance. I will certainly work with the Senator and the HSE. I will connect with the latter and ask it to review the case the Senator is talking about. I stress that the difficulty is felt. While we can read scripts or whatever, we, as parents, politicians and leaders in our community, acknowledge the contribution of parents in cases such as this. It is extraordinarily difficult to do what they do seven days per week, 24 hours per day, with a scarcity of respite and a lack of residential places. Therefore, I will ask the HSE in the area in question to review the case and redouble its efforts to determine what we can do in the interim to provide as much support as we can to the family.
