I thank Senator Devine and bow to her expertise in this area as I know she spent some working in that area of medicine. I cannot give the Senator answers to her questions but I will follow up with the Minister of State, Deputy Daly, and ask him to revert to her. I am also concerned that there are numerous children who have to wait a long time to access CAMHS. The Minister of State is doing his utmost to recruit people to the service. Unfortunately, some people find this line of work very difficult. As Senator Devine is aware, mental health issues can be very complex, especially with children. I will speak to the Minister of State on this matter and ask about the day-care services in Cherry Orchard and whether he can provide the timeline the Senator seeks.
