Employment activation projects for all citizens, including citizens with a disability, are the responsibility of the Minister for Social Protection. I understand that the WALK Peer Project referred to was funded by the Department of Social Protection and any decision on the continuation or otherwise of its funding would be a matter for that Department.
Adult day services for people with a disability are an operational matter for the HSE. As that aspect of the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
