Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

You keep interrupting me. If you stopped interrupting me I would be finished. Was it a farce to announce the national drugs strategy when the money is not in place? Deputy Byrne has done a great deal of work regarding people affected by drugs and because they are not powerful enough to come and lobby outside the House, it was easy to cut their funding. I will address the comment on Deputy Mitchell in a moment.
