Children’s respite centre opens in Co Monaghan. It was a glorious morning weather-wise in Urblekirk just outside Monaghan Town this morning for the official opening of Rainbow Lodge.
Indeed, the ribbon was cut by Disabilities Minister Anne Rabbitte. Minister Rabbitte today delivered on a promise she made back in March. That promise - to have respite care in County Monaghan up and running by the end of the year.
Now, children with additional needs have a safe place to go where they can socialise, learn new skills and be themselves. Moreover, Zoe Tunney spoke to some of those attending today's opening event of the Children's respite centre in Monaghan.
Furthermore, Zoe spoke to Edel Quinn. the head of HSE Disability Services, in this region. Edel outlined what services are now available to Monaghan parents and what benefits it will provide to children.
