Leithscéal gafa ag FSS faoi easpa seirbhísí faoisimh.
The head of the Health Service Executive has apologized for the lack of relief services for people with disabilities in Co Cork.
Tá leithscéal gafa ag ceannasaí Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte faoin easpa seirbhísí faoisimh do dhaoine faoi mhíchumas i gCo Chorcaí.
Bernard Gloster claimed that he understands how much the situation hurts the families of the victims.
Mhaígh Bernard Gloster go dtuigeann sé cé chomh mór agus a ghoilleann an scéal ar theaghlaigh na ndaoine atá thíos leis.
The HSE has indicated that the organization does not have the capacity to provide ten respite beds for children in Co Cork as proposed by Minister of State Anne Rabbitte.
Tá sé tugtha le fios ag FSS nach bhfuil sé d’acmhainn ag an eagraíocht deich leaba faoisimh a chur ar fáil arís do leanaí i gCo Chorcaí mar atá molta ag Aire Stáit Anne Rabbitte.
According to the organization, a shortage of staff is the main cause of the evil.
Ganntanas foirne is cionsiocair leis an olc, dar leis an eagraíocht.
Bernard Gloster pointed out that there was no difficulty in recruiting workers temporarily from employment agencies but that it was necessary to ensure that they had the appropriate credentials.
Thug Bernard Gloster le fios nach raibh deacracht ar bith ag baint le hoibrithe a earcú go sealadach ó ghníomhaireachtaí fostaíochta ach go gcaithfí a chinntiú go raibh na dintiúir chuí acu.
He nevertheless promised that he would do his utmost to make the relief beds in Cork available again.
Gheall sé mar sin féin go ndéanfadh sé a sheacht ndícheall is trí fichid leis na leapacha faoisimh i gCorcaigh a chur ar fáil arís.
As a result of the crisis, 48 children with disabilities in a special school in Carrig Uí Leighin are in dire straits due to lack of relief services.
Mar sholaoid ar an ngéarchéim, tá 48 páiste faoi mhíchumas i scoil speisialta i gCarraig Uí Leighin i gcruachás de cheal seirbhísí faoisimh.
Since the school opened almost two years ago, no respite services have been provided to them and they are not on any list against them.
Ó d’oscail an scoil beagnach dhá bhliain ó shin, níor cuireadh aon seirbhísí faoisimh ar fáil dóibh agus níl siad ar aon liosta lena n-aghaidh.
In Dáil Éireann, Pearse Doherty from Sinn Féin said it is a national crisis.
I nDáil Éireann, dúirt Pearse Doherty ó Shinn Féin gur géarchéim náisiúnta atá ann.
He pointed out that there is a relief center in Co Donegal which has not been operating for three years.
Thug sé le fios go bhfuil ionad faoisimh i gCo Dhún na nGall nach bhfuil ag feidhmiú le trí bliana.
Tánaiste Micheál Martin confirmed that he had discussed the situation with parents in Carrig Uí Leighin and said that he understands the situation very well.
Dhearbhaigh an Tánaiste Micheál Martin go raibh an scéal pléite aige le tuisimitheoirí i gCarraig Uí Leighin agus dúirt go dtuigeann sé an scéal go rímhaith.
