Restored respite house in doubt over funding row

A RESTORED respite service for relatives of people with intellectual disabilities in Limerick is in doubt after families rejected a proposal that they raise funds to pay for a replacement service.

A house used for respite care was closed on June 14, due to government cutbacks.

Managed by the Brothers of Charity in Bawnmore, it accommodated people with disabilities while their family members needed some time off from caring duties.
