Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2018
366. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the ongoing impact the closure of the swimming pool at a facility (details supplied) is having on persons with disabilities and in recovery in County Donegal; his plans to invest in and secure the reopening of the pool; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2941/18]
View answerThe Government is committed to providing services and supports for people with disabilities which will empower them to live independent lives, provide greater independence in accessing the services they choose, and enhance their ability to tailor the supports required to meet their needs and plan their lives. This commitment is outlined in the Programme for Partnership Government, which is guided by two principles: equality of opportunity and improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
As the Deputy's question relates to a service matter, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy.
