I raised this issue in my first year in the Seanad. It breaks my heart to think that there are people who are raising money for vital services the State should be providing and that the State is benefitting from that action. We must start to move on this area. It is complex. Obviously, the EU has a role regarding it but there are recommendations, and Deputy McGrath's amendment is worthy of our support.
