I thank everybody for their statements thus far. I have a question for the Minister of State, Deputy Burke, regarding the additional funding this year. Will he give a breakdown on this? I am reading a breakdown of the additional funding in the press release and it gives a breakdown but the drugs task forces in the country will say that funding has been reduced, particularly in the last ten years. In 2012, €20 million was put towards harm reduction and so forth in drug task forces across the country. Now, the figure is less than €20 million. Will the Minister of State give a breakdown on the additional funding and where it is going?
