No money paid out of €8m HSE disability fund despite being promised 17 months ago, Dáil told
Denise McGahern believes her son Jack, who has cerebral palsy, was "used" in a photo opportunity to promote an €8 million HSE disability fund announced in October 2023 that has yet to materialize. The promised funding was intended to support services for children with special needs, but families have not received any money 17 months later. The Department of Children cites administrative delays and funding issues, while McGahern expresses disappointment and urges the government to act.
