I raise the matter of the Errigal Truagh Special Needs services at Emyvale, County Monaghan. It has a project, with state-of-the-art plans, which has planning permission to develop and deliver much-needed day and weekend respite services for children aged between six and 17 to provide essential support for children who are currently under the CDNT for County Monaghan. I do not need to tell the Taoiseach that the gap is huge. The need is incredible. This group is ready to go. As I said, the project is shovel-ready. I met with them yesterday. They are very despondent. Will the Taoiseach raise this matter with Bernard O'Regan to see why there is such a slow pace on this project on the HSE side?
