The Minister of State, Deputy Daly, who was present in the Chamber, has departed. The mental health budget next year will exceed €1 billion for the first time, including €55 million for development, so there is a big increase in funding in the area. It has been much acknowledged by people across the House. If it has been refused, I imagine it has been refused for a good reason but I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy Daly, to correspond with the Deputy.
