Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I will absolutely commit to doing more than one-off payments for people with disabilities across a range of areas. I am now chairing the Cabinet committee on disability, which met again last week. Myself and the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, and the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, have met with a number of advocacy organisations in recent weeks.
On the specifics of payments, I have to leave that for the budget but I can say, and I say it to be helpful, that I can produce data to show the Deputy that the biggest challenge we are having at the moment, particularly in relation to children's disability network teams, is not a budgetary one but a recruitment one. We actually have funded posts-----
