Mr. McCarthy cannot answer that very important question. I want to find out where responsibility lies. Very vulnerable people in RAPID areas, children and adolescents who would benefit from counselling, were not getting key intervention because the State could not allocate and spend money on their behalf. I expect Mr. McCarthy to be very clear about the people who worked to allocate this money in that litany of Departments from 2015, ending with the Department of Community and Rural Development in 2017. Are the staff with responsibility being transferred to each Department?
