I have one more. It relates to the statement earlier about addiction not discriminating or picking its victim. My question is about family support. I speak having seen my younger brother go through addiction for 15 years. We lost him to suicide, so it was not a happy ending. I am not from Dublin or a disadvantaged area. Are the witnesses seeing family members accessing facilities and supports from all walks of life and from across the country? I am from Kilkenny so refer particularly to the south east. Are the witnesses seeing it from all walks of life and all corners of society?
