How much of the extra €39 billion might Travellers expect to see devoted to services, both mainstream and specialised? I heard what you said about mainstream services but there is a case for having both mainstream and specialised. We need to think in binary terms about services, particularly when issues have been raised time and again about access to culturally appropriate services. First, are you open to both specialised and mainstream services? Second, how much of that €39 billion is likely to come the way of Traveller mental health, given that you accept there is a crisis?
