============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I thank the Deputy for her question. At this point, Covid-19 should not be used as a reason to keep day care facilities closed. A great deal of work was done to reopen these facilities and many supports were provided. There may be other local operational reasons for that but at this point, while this may not be the case in the future, Covid should not be a reason. I will engage with the HSE on exactly the points the Deputy has just raised and will ask it to look at the centres concerned.
