I will start with a question because I then want to rabbit on for a while and I am sure the Acting Chairman will pull me in.

Of the 585 families participating, it is interesting to read that 61% are classified through community and voluntary group referrals. That is an interesting figure. When these families, particularly parents or guardians, are told about their children's health difficulties, what is their reaction? How do the parents feel about this? Do they take any responsibility? Do they feel it is their fault?

It is a pity Deputy Robert Troy has left because I wanted to ask him from where he would get the €10 million. I wonder for the past 15 years when Fianna Fail was in government why it did not bother putting money into these services, but I will not dwell on that issue.

I am delighted to see a full panel of women. It is the first time I have sat in this room-----
