Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

Tá seirbhísí faoisimh nó respite services á n-ardú agam inniu. Tá sé níos cirte easpa sheirbhísí faoisimh a rá, i nGaillimh ach go háirithe, ach de réir mar a thuigim, ar fud na tíre. I am referring to respite services. I am in receipt of a letter, dated 14 June, confirming there are no respite services in Galway and that, in the HSE West area, they will not be resumed because tá siad ag fanacht ar threoracha ón Rialtas - they are waiting for a national directive. A year and three months after the declaration of the pandemic, that we have no respite services restored is simply unforgivable in a country that is telling our young people they can travel and telling people they can drink ad nauseam on our streets, yet we cannot restore respite services.
