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

Acquired Brain Injury Ireland is a registered charity, established in 2000. The organisation works in partnership with the Health Service Executive (HSE) to provide a range of flexible and tailor made services for people with acquired brain injury. While the organisation received funding in excess of €8m from the HSE in 2010 towards the provision of such services as Assisted Living; Home and Community Rehabilitation; Day Resource and Family Support services among others, the issue of recruitment of staff at Acquired Brain Injury Ireland is a matter for the organisation's Board of Directors to address.
