Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

Respite and day services are so important to families of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. This was further reinforced during the pandemic, when those services were not available. In Macroom, the Cope Foundation ran services for five days a week, which was hugely valuable for local clients and their families. There is always an ongoing need to extend that to a seven-day service for Macroom. Will the Minister engage with Cope and the various authorities to ensure a seven-day and seven-night service is available for Cope clients in Macroom?
