I thank the Minister of State for his answer. I support this initiative. It is doing wonderful work. The Minister of State has confirmed that he made an offer of €300,000 to co-fund the appointment of officers in each local authority along the western coast. What type of response has the Minister of State got back from the chief executives of the different local authorities? Will they get on board with this initiative and make those appointments? The Minister of State might inform the House in that regard.
