I thank the Minister of State. Will he clarify what he meant when he mentioned facilities, including a hydrotherapy unit, a soft play area and a multisensory room? He said that almost €580,000 has been allocated by the HSE? Has this money been allocated to the Holy Angels centre?

The respite services in Tullow went for tender months ago, but we have had no update on that. Is there a problem with the funding? We were told the children would have access to overnight respite by early summer, but this has not occurred as we approach the end of the year. It is all about timescale. I need clarification from the Minister of State today on what exactly is happening. The Holy Angels centre needs more than €5 million to build a new school. The HSE has told us we have the site.
