Michael Conaghan (Dublin South Central, Labour)

I thank the Minister. I congratulate her on her promotion and wish her well. The STAR project in Ballyfermot is very aptly named. The project has shone the light into many lives where there was a great deal of darkness. A star can act as a guide. It is apt that the national drugs task force has chosen the STAR project in Ballyfermot as a guide to best practice for other projects. These are key criteria to underscore the value of the STAR project which I briefly sketched out.
