Services for Children with Disabilities: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-29
============================================================

Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

I know the Minister made a visit to University Hospital Limerick. Did the Minister know there is no particular room in that hospital for a person with a child with disabilities displaying challenging behaviour? I also know the Minister said it was a surprise visit. I was in the hospital twice after a road traffic accident I had four weeks ago. I saw what the Minister said he did not see at the hospital because I was there for 24 hours. There were trolleys on corridors everywhere, with nurses and doctors trying to do their jobs. They had to move patients left and right, and exactly what the Minister said was not evident there is happening.
