Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-02
============================================================

Mark Ward (SF), Dublin Mid-West

In 2020 we had a scandalous 9,689 children on waiting lists for primary care psychology. Fast forward to 2024 and we now have whopping 18,368 children waiting. This is the Minister's legacy. It is a legacy of heartbreak and children being denied every opportunity to reach their full potential. Sinn Féin has a plan to resolve this. We have an action plan for mental health. We have solutions to solve the problems that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have created in mental health.
