Okay. I just wanted clarification on that. I will raise again the issue of hundreds of children impacted by sodium valproate. My colleague Deputy Conway-Walsh engages regularly with people in this sector. They still do not have a full disability pathway in place to deliver the supports and services promised to them. That is the barest minimum owed to these children while we await an independent inquiry.

I thank the Members and the Minister of State for being here but there is not sufficient funding in the budget to meet all of the needs that have been outlined by my colleagues here this evening.
