Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

I thank the Deputy for raising this. As he said, I know there is a new 95-bed unit that is now located in Thomastown providing really important health services to the community he represents. He is correct, unfortunately, to say that there has been a delay with regard to the recruitment of speech and language therapists. The post has been advertised on two different occasions and it has not been possible to get the therapist needed by the community. A campaign is under way for the post. The HSE will continue to focus on how that role can be filled. I agree with the Deputy that is really important that it happens.
