Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I thank Deputy McGrath for raising this issue and for attending the Cluain adult training centre with me and Councillor Siobhán Ambrose a few weeks ago. It is an excellent facility which provides a range of services for those with disabilities, acquired brain injuries and mental health challenges. It supports people who might fall between the cracks otherwise. I was very impressed by the fact that the centre identifies the needs of trainees and tailors the supports to suit them. I have asked mental health officials to engage with the disability officials who attended on the day to come up with a comprehensive plan. We will try to work out a service level agreement. I understand the majority of the funding is being provided through the disability budget but the mental health budget also must step up and I am committed to doing so. I will keep Deputy McGrath up to date on developments.
