I understand the Senator's reaction to the offer in respect of the venue in Waterford. It is, however, a very generous offer which was not made in a frivolous manner. Rather, it was made on the basis of trying to resolve the issue. I agree with the Senator that this is not merely an issue for the Government, it is one which must also be dealt with by society in a community-based way. That is why SafeTALK and ASIST are being delivered across the country. We will revisit the issue when the decision on the funding allocation for the National Office for Suicide Prevention for 2013 is being made.
