Jim Daly (Cork South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for his contribution and for refocusing attention on this issue, which is always very welcome. This is an issue that affects many different communities and areas, and the Deputy is right to ensure that his area is at the centre of attention in the distribution of supports. I also recognise his acknowledgement of where his position was and where it is now, which was very gracious. I assure the Deputy I will convey his concerns directly to the Minister of State and the HSE to ensure the Donore community drug and alcohol team gets the support and funding it requires to continue the work it is doing, which I have no doubt is very good.
