I organised a meeting of MS Ireland in the AV room today and there was a huge attendance so I thank all the Deputies and Senators who were there. I ask everyone in the Seanad to use their contacts, within and outside political parties, to reinforce the call made by MS Ireland on the Ministers for Finance and Health for €600,000 to sustain a full 52-week respite care service. The MS Ireland care centre offers a range of therapeutic and neurological services and it is an important organisation. It is not a big ask. I acknowledge the attendance of the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Finian McGrath. We should impress upon the Minister the need for this money. It is a worthy cause and should be supported.
