I thank the Minister. As she said, the service is demand-led. It comes down to the area manager, the welfare office or the case officer dealing with the people to decide if the applicant is eligible for the service. The Minister has acknowledged in her response that up to 50% of the overall cost is also covered. Does the Department have any intention to review that 50% allocation or will that remain the case going forward? Second, the Minister mentioned that two organisations in Cork are availing of this funding in 2022. If possible, will she let me know what those two organisations are? Is there a plan to extend the funding to any further organisations in the future?
