This commitment is set out in the Programme for Government, and I look forward to seeing further progress in the years ahead. I also want to acknowledge Tusla and the independent chair for their work in leading this important process.”
Concluding, Deputy McGreehan said, “These centres are vital to families in communities across Ireland. This new service will be a huge boost to families in Louth. I encourage any family who feels they need extra support to avail of the services that will be on offer.”
