Disability Services
Seanad Éireann — 2025-03-05
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (FG), Cork South-Central

I am conscious of the need, as are Government and the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, to address the challenges in the provision of services for children with disabilities and their families. I again commit to working with Kelly-Marie on behalf of Eve Lynne. The Government is fully committed to advancing the progress of recruitment and retention of staff to enable capacity-building in CDNTs. Notwithstanding the comments the Senator made, it is important to acknowledge that CDNTs are currently providing services and supports to 42,000 children-----
