This service is filling a gap in that Jigsaw does not provide services for 12 to 15 year olds. As Deputy Rabbitte outlined, it is €35,000 to continue the counselling service and €60,000 in total for the year. The HSE is reviewing the position. I ask the Minister of State to look favourably on this and to work with the HSE to see what can be done to ensure this critical service for our young people is continued.
