Mr. Gerry Cooney:

Every organisation is trying to match people's needs with what services can provide. Sometimes people are directed towards certain centres that are not a position to support the primary challenges. It is about matching needs.

The Rutland Centre does its best to match the needs of people who are presenting in other services. I have a long-term association with Ballymun dating back many years. People are trying their best. There is one thing I wish to say before we finish because it was not highlighted enough. The Deputy asked what would help. It relates to families, and this is something I am sure the Chairperson would agree with given her work with Rise Foundation. The practical challenges Covid has brought in offering family support has been a huge issue, even with regard to people being able to visit centres. We have not been able to involve the families as much as we would like. We always felt that the more support families get, the more support individuals get and the better the outcomes.
