I want to respond to Senator Black and thank her for the work she has done. The three Departments are working very closely together to address the issues of mental health and well-being. My Department received funding of €20 million for the Healthy Ireland budget. We are working with the Departments maintaining physical and mental well-being among everybody. The three Ministers of State and the senior Minister are working together. We had the first meeting in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to try to address the issues of people who are homeless and have addiction issues. Much good work is being done through all the various Departments. I thank Senator Black for raising the mental health issue. It is a very important, especially during this pandemic.
