A charity used to use the catchphrase, "give a little, it will help a lot, " and I rise this morning on behalf of an advocacy group with that in mind. If that group could be given a little, it would help a lot. The group is BrĂ­, a group for people with acquired brain injuries. For several years, it has sought an identity card to be provided for people with acquired brain injuries so they can go about their lives. I put this to the previous Minister responsible for health matters and I hoped that if the current Minister, Deputy Reilly, came to the House, we could ask him to implement such a programme. It would be a great help for such people in going about their lives. It would not be at great cost and it would make life easier for these people. If the group got a little, it would help a lot.
