Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank Deputy Ó Ríordáin for raising this important issue. I only became aware of it recently.
I am advised that 13 families were sent letters by St. Michael's House on 27 June informing them that St. Michael's House would not be able to accept a referral to their adult disability day service. Some 11 of these referrals are school leavers who are leaving St. Michael's House School. I imagine that was very distressing for the families concerned. The Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, is aware of the situation. She will liaise with Deputy Ó Ríordáin. She is working with the HSE to try to find solutions.
