Care service for disabled children axed without warning
Ard Cuan House on Dublin’s North Circular Road provided respite for 80 families, among them elderly parents with middle-aged offspring in need of professional care. It is run by the Daughters of Charity, whose service for those with intellectual disabilities has been in operation in Ireland for over 100 years.
Angie Kenny, whose 14-year-old son, Conor, has been attending Ard Cuan once a week for the past year, last night spoke of her shock at the closure.
