Seán Sherlock (LAB), Cork East

In support of Deputy Stanton and to dovetail with his question, I formally ask the Minister to consider visiting the Down's syndrome facility in Ballincollig, Field of Dreams, where he will meet absolutely amazing people who have issues with access to public transport and transport on a personalised basis. I extend the invitation to the Minister specifically to visit that facility in Ballincollig which does amazing work. The people are absolutely amazing. It has what I call a market garden facility which sells excellent produce into the local market. If the Minister were to hear first hand from people about their challenges and the challenges of core funding, I think he would be very impressed by what they have to offer there.
