Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I met Cara and her father, Mark, briefly this morning when I came back from Brussels. I met them in the courtyard of Government Buildings before the Cabinet meeting. I will formally and properly meet Cara this week with, I hope, other relevant Ministers as well. I have here her letter, which she gave me this morning. She is an incredible young person. We have taken a number of steps already in relation to assessments of needs since I became Taoiseach, including €12 million in funding, which will result in an extra 4,500 assessments of need. I will meet Cara. She has a number of issues that she wants to discuss. I hope to meet her either tomorrow or on Thursday.
