I should just say that we often have organisations before the committee that, unlike the alliance, do have a sense that they will be receiving core funding every year but, again, that funding fluctuates year on year, which is equally challenging. I would be interested to know why the HSE or the Department does not look at three-year or five-year packages, which would allow for some kind of confidence as to future funding.

With the time I have remaining, I want to get a better sense of the post-pandemic context. I imagine that there was a backlog of people seeking services who had not been comfortable or confident to do so. This has had an impact on things like waiting lists and people's stress in accessing services. Will Mr. O'Leary talk not just about fundraising after the pandemic, but about any change in services or those trying to access them, which I imagine would have been very significant?
