Mr. Gordon Jeyes:

I would be more than happy to be involved in those discussions, if I could be.

I understand the point being made but I do not think having our scope stretched in order to plug other gaps will work. We will just end up providing a second-rate service. Maybe some additional money could be provided but more fundamental discussions are needed about whose responsibility it is. Fundamentally, I accept that it is the State's responsibility. I also accept, having visited some of these centres, including in Cork, that the provision is good. Something has got to give because this is what is sometimes called a wicked issue that covers various Departments. We cannot just Elastoplast that or have our mission stretched because that is not the right way to do it.
