Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

What I did was challenge the assertions in the Deputy's contribution that zero had happened since the Government's formation. That is what she said in respect of special needs services generally, and I am entitled to do that when she raises what I believe to be a misleading presentation of the situation. That is not to say I do not recognise that serious issues remain, particularly in access to therapies. I have consistently said that in this House, both in opposition and in government, and I will continue to do that until I am satisfied that a sufficiency of therapies is available. It has not been for want of political will or funding. The HSE has had a model for quite some time-----
