Maurice Quinlivan (Limerick City, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach will have seen the recent report from the Tallaght Drug and Alcohol Task Force demonstrating the work that it has been done with community groups and it is calling for additional funding. I am a member of a similar task force in Limerick and the concerns of this group are similar, namely it does not have the funding to carry out its important work. The programme for Government commits to reviewing these task forces. I appeal to the Taoiseach to carry out that review and to make sure the task forces go back to being community-led and not HSE-led because that arrangement is destroying the functioning of task forces and is not making them effective like they can be.
