Vol. 687 No. 4

Request to Move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32.

Anois, iarratas chun tairisceana a dhéanamh an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32.

Ba mhaith liom cead a lorg an Dáil a chur ar athló faoi Bhuan Ordú 32 chun gnó rí-thábhachtach don phobal a bhfuil géarghá le plé práinneach a dhéanamh air, is é sin: the need for the HSE to ensure there is adequate funding for day services to allow six clients of the Walkinstown association, which supports people with intellectual disabilities to live self-determined lives, to move from rehabilitative training day services as promised; the upset and the distress this is causing the clients and their families; the fact this issue arises on top of cuts the service had to implement to stay within budget, including the closure of a modern kitchen facility; the ending of annual respite weekends for clients and their families; the withdrawal of funding for a holistic therapy worker this week; and that some of the clients who have been with the service for many years may end up with no daytime activity, contrary to the promotion of the independent living concept.

Tar éis breithnithe a dhéanamh ar an ní ardaithe, níl sé in ord faoi Bhuan Ordú 32. Having considered the matter raised, it is not in order under Standing Order 32.
