I thank the Deputy for his question. Yesterday, I announced that of the €10 million that was made available to mental health on budget day, €1 million of it will be allocated to community and voluntary organisations throughout the country. It will be administered through Mental Health Ireland. The portal will go live next Monday, 29 January 2022. The amount that will be allocated is between €5,000 and €30,000, depending on the various organisations. There are obviously criteria that organisations will have to adhere to get this funding. The opportunity is there for any organisation, community or voluntary, from Monday, 29 January to go online and apply for that funding.
