Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I agree with the Deputy that community welfare officers around the country do an excellent job helping people at a time when they need help the most. My understanding is that they are trying to move towards a more efficient service that involves greater use of telephones and electronic communications but will still provide for in-person clinics where necessary and even home visits on occasion, but I am not across all the detail of that. I will let the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, know that the matter was raised and ask her to revert to the Deputy directly.
