Jigsaw is a youth mental health charity that provides free, non-judgmental and confidential therapy to young people between the ages of 12 and 15. It also gives families, educators and those who support young people's mental health ways to cope and the skills to be there for young people. Thankfully, after pressure from public representatives, this service was established successfully in County Tipperary, based in Thurles, and has been up and running successfully for a number of years. A commitment was given to establish an outreach centre in Clonmel. A totally inadequate token one-day-a-week service is available in Clonmel, which one of the biggest towns in the country. I ask the Minister, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, and the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, to follow up this matter and provide the resources necessary to establish this service properly in Clonmel.
