.@JohnLahart: When we talk about Section 39, we talk about orgs funded by the HSE that reach into every community that provide essential services, including those to people with disabilities, palliative care addiction services and a myriad other health and social care services

.@rodericogorman: Next week if strike does go ahead it will impact people with disabilities and children. A meaningful offer is being worked on. As funders we play a role. The solution needs to be a long term one and resolve an inequity over a decade old

As evening draws to a close at Leinster House we thank all the TDs who engaged in this important debate and listened to people we support, families, staff and orgs over past weeks. Hopefully a resolution can bé reached asap

ALT Quote by John Dolan of DFI on the impending strike action from tomorrow in Section 39 funded organisations
Dr Catherine Kelly retweeted
Today our day services and respite services closed ahead of industrial action that starts tomorrow. Hundreds of people without a service, hundreds of staff devastated that it has come to this. @abilitywest repeat our plea to avert this action tonight
We urge all in the WRC to reach resolution and we hope for this to come tonight.
Without resolution we face a very bleak prospect tomorrow morning for people we support in disability services, their families and staff who do not wish to be in this position.
