I thank the Deputy for her question. I am delighted to hear Cavan-Monaghan has one of the pilot projects. We have 67% coverage of physical Jigsaw services throughout Ireland to provide youth mental health supports for those aged 12 to 25. However, there are some glaring areas that do not have Jigsaw provision, including the Deputy's area, community healthcare organisation, CHO, 5 and Kildare. I will meet with Dr. Joseph Duffy of Jigsaw in the next fortnight to discuss this. Jigsaw moved to provide many supports online during Covid, but I wish to progress some physical premises and I will focus on these three areas.
