That has to be welcomed. I was not aware of that. It is long overdue. WALK has done Trojan work over many years.

I am seriously concerned about social enterprises which do fantastic work. A number are closing and there seems to be confusion about who has responsibility for them. The HSE is not funding staff to support projects. Who has responsibility for social enterprises operating across the State? The buck seems to be passed between different Departments and ultimately the HSE is not providing funding. It is a general question which covers a couple of different Departments. I ask Ms Carr to address the role of the HSE.
