Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

The Estimate in 2020 was €2.069 million and the outturn was €2.464 million. That excess arose due to the roll-out of the Still Here campaign. We also increased the grants available to the front-line partners we have in this space. Between the Still Here campaign for awareness raising and the increased provision for front-line services, there was approximately €400,000 extra spent in 2020.
