I look forward to seeing that note because no excuses are acceptable for the delay in not reopening the Keltoi unit and not having it offering residential care too. I am not looking for a nine-to-five, Monday-to-Friday service because that is not going to run here. I will also be talking to Deputy Cullinane about this issue too. Deputy Ward and I have been commenting on the Keltoi unit for some years now. To be honest, I am shocked the witnesses have come in here today and no one can tell us how much money is required and when the unit will be open again. It is unbelievable.

On naloxone, I agree with what the Leas-Chathaoirleach said. Councillor Daithí Doolan and I have met different groups in Dublin that were sidestepping the systems in place so they could get naloxone to people who needed it. I was impressed by the ingenuity of these addiction service groups in Dublin. We know naloxone saves lives. What is the issue here? We need to get this substance out to a broad swathe of people, including family members and communities, where there is a high risk. I know there needs to be training. The Leas-Chathaoirleach described an experience she had last week. I imagine that if naloxone had been available then, she would have been well capable of being able to deliver it to the person who was potentially at risk of an overdose.

Will the Department of Justice give figures on the number of young people brought through the youth diversion programme for drug possession?
