My last question is to Ms Smith. She mentioned that her organisation, which functions in a co-ordinating capacity, does not receive funding. If a person comes to her group who has been gravely assaulted and needs help, what happens then? Does Ugly Mugs refer the person to existing services? The Health Service Executive, for example, has a sexual health clinic on Baggot Street. We received a very detailed presentation from its management last year. Is that the type of service to which Ms Smith would refer people?
