Templeogue

Once the person is coming into the adult acute setting, I have the ability to support them through their care journey, ideally from the moment they arrive through the emergency department up until the point of discharge.

So with my role, I'm employed through Cheeverstown in Templeogue, which is also a community and residential service for people with intellectual disability, but I'm based in Tallaght University Hospital.

So the structure of the role is that I'm located in TUH four days a week, and then I spend one of those days, um, in Cheeverstown, so I'm community based then at that point.

So it's a single specialist post, so I'm the only one in TUH in this role.

Never of houses or private property like that, but of open ground.

Uh, and you've everywhere from Firhouse, Knocklyon, Ballyboden, Tallaght, Templeogue, all these areas, uh, where a car could have driven Philip quite quickly.

Yeah.

But then bear in mind, the bag is left back near his house-

But that kind of, uh, routine that people had, uh, where, and certainly in Philip's case, it was he'd walk to school, uh, in the morning, and then he'd come back for lunch, back to his house, and then go back to school in the afternoon.

And just to think about the house from which Philip left that afternoon, uh, and kind of situated in where it actually is, Ballyroan Road, uh, in Dublin 16, close to Rathfarnham, close to Tallaght, close to Templeogue, uh, close to so many places.

And the route to school that Philip would've walked for those two months, out the gate, turn right, up the footpath, and then at some stage would take a right turn.

Uh, so he's walking along Ballyroan Road and then takes a right up Ballyroan Crescent, and then would find his way to Coláiste Áine.
