Mr. John Meehan:

We are working collaboratively and it is part-funded by my office. Funding is a big issue, which was raised by a number of Deputies and Senators. Like Deputy Buckley, I look forward to this afternoon and hearing the Minister give his overall view, particularly on mental health services. The increase in the budget of the National Office of Suicide Prevention from €5 million in 2012 to €13 million in 2019 is positive for the future. It will be reflected in the outcomes as we move forward with the implementation plan. I must acknowledge the role of colleagues around this table and NGO partners, as well as public representatives because their voice reaches us.
