Minister of State at the Department of Health (Deputy Kathleen Lynch)

I wish to inform the Deputy that I met with representatives from the Centre for Independent Living (CIL) in July and December last year. In addition, I attended an Information Session arranged by the organisation in March of this year. I am happy to meet with CIL again at a time convenient to all and within the context of my other priorities.
