Since I came in as Minister of State, I have visited many of the treatment centres around the country, from Bray to Waterford, Cork and Limerick - I think I have visited seven different places in Limerick alone - as well as the centres in Dublin. I am at a meeting once a month at the Merchant’s Quay project because I think it is an extremely important project. In that area, it is also about liaising with the local community. For example, yesterday, I was at a primary school in that area which is concerned about having something like this very close to it. It is about everyone working together in that area. The Government also has a responsibility to give support to groups and organisations, like that primary school, to make sure they are getting the additional support they require.
