Labour’s General Election Candidate in Kildare South, Senator Mark Wall, is speaking out against the Department of Justice’s decision to withhold €4.5 million in funding for Sensational Kids, a charity center in Kildare Town. This center is crucial for supporting children with additional needs in the area, but construction has come to a sudden stop due to the lack of funding.
Senator Wall is deeply disappointed by this turn of events, stating that local families are devastated and children are now without the essential services they require. He emphasizes that these vulnerable children are being let down, and the sudden halt in construction is a huge blow to the community. It is disheartening to see a project that aims to help those in need being sacrificed due to what seems to be political negligence.
The failure of the Department of Justice to provide the promised funding is not just a financial issue, but a moral one as well. Senator Wall stresses that there is no excuse for this situation. Builders have stopped working, families are left in uncertainty, and the vision for this center has been shattered. The community was counting on this charity-led initiative to address a gap that the state has neglected for too long.
It is imperative that the €4.5 million funding is delivered without further delay. The builders need to resume their work, and the project must move forward to ensure that children with additional needs in Kildare Town receive the support they deserve. Senator Wall is calling for immediate action to rectify this situation and ensure that the center becomes a reality as soon as possible. The well-being of these children should be the top priority, and it is essential that they are not left waiting for the services they urgently require.
