I would like to bring up the case of the Family Addiction Support Network in Dundalk. The Guerin report and the Drogheda implementation report spoke about the important work it does, particularly with families. It is sometimes the go-to body for those who are not necessarily comfortable with going to the Garda about drug debt, intimidation and the huge issues there are with those matters. Those involved have had numerous meetings with the HSE on funding, but it is not really cutting the mustard. They have even met an organisation that was provided funding and that asked it whether it could deal with some of its overflow. The Garda has carried out fundraising for this organisation because it sees it as necessary. The Minister for Justice has had many interactions with me before on this but we need to see some sort of sustainable funding for an organisation doing necessary work.
