Before I hand over to members, it is obvious from the presentations from Samaritans Ireland and TIF that there is a great need and that they fulfil a great function. As the representatives of TIF said, it has entered into a voluntary partnership for a two-year period from 2014 to 2016. What everybody wants to know is if that partnership will continue beyond 2016. I presume that is the question that would give much relief to the Samaritans if it was answered this morning.
