There is no promised legislation on the disbursement of money to the voluntary sector or the statutory sector in the context of counselling services. Arising from a debate we had a few minutes ago, the Minister of State indicated he was more than happy to come in here and review progress on the implementation of the recommendations as set down as a result of the debate that took place here last year, at which stage the Deputy will have more than enough time to put these questions to the Minister of State. As the Deputy knows full well, this week the matter of the tragic death of that young man was discussed in the House. The Minister of State indicated the panel would be set up as a matter of urgency.
