Donegal TD Charles Ward has called for the expansion of public and not-for-profit community living services in the county.
Deputy Ward says the need for such services is increasing nationally, but particularly in Donegal, where there are adults with intellectual disabilities living in homes that are crumbling, with nowhere to go.
