Deputy McGrath asked for the Minister to visit during Leaders’ Questions last week.

“We have not one single mental health long stay bed in Tipperary.”

“Vision for Change was a disaster – we lost our wonderful St Michael’s. Many, many people used it for decades. It was closed.”

“The last Minister for Mental Health acknowledged it was a mistake. He admitted and his officials now admit that we have a deficit of 25 long stay mental health beds in South Tipperary alone.”

“Kilkenny just hasn’t space for us – they have to cover the whole south east.”
