Ms Grace Hill:

That will have to be clarified by the Department because I do not have the overarching view of the budget for the country. Our interim funding allocation is €1.2 million whereas other task forces are in receipt of about €4 million. Another thing we were highlighting through our research is, I suppose, the imbalance in those allocations. We welcome the recommendation in the mid-term review of the national drugs strategy which calls for a population-based approach. This might be a way in which bigger areas like Tallaght and Clondalkin can benefit because we have such a big populated area. We welcome that and we would hope to benefit from it. At the moment, however, that is not the case and we actually receive less funding than other task forces that are in smaller areas.
