I propose to take Questions Nos. 568 and 569 together.

I understand that my officials have confirmed with the Deputy's office that the service in question is located in a residential facility. My Department does not fund the service and the Deputy may wish to make contact with the Health Service Executive and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment regarding the matter.
