There should not be any issue. I would be concerned if there were an issue. If the Deputy is telling me that a minor issue is being held up because of funding in the Department in Galway, I would like to hear the details of that. If the Deputy sends me the details after this debate, I will have the matter checked out for her. As she knows, there has been a significant increase in mental health funding since 2012. It has improved drastically. There is an issue with whether all of the €12 million under a particular subhead will be spent by the end of the year. We have a budget of €1 billion. In other words, we will spend €1,000 million on mental health this year. If the Deputy sends me the details of the issue, I will be quite happy to check it out for her.
