I understand the Minister of State's situation regarding commitments and the difficulty of getting to the Chamber. She has been most responsible to this House and made herself available on almost every occasion she was requested. I hope she is aware of the deep concerns in Roscommon regarding the psychiatric services, as I outlined last week. I urge her to take a hands-on approach, come to Roscommon and see what is happening in Castlerea and elsewhere. Her direct involvement would be of help. I have begun to avoid attending any HSE briefings. To be frank, I have no faith or confidence in the management of the psychiatric service in Roscommon. I do not trust the people involved and what they are doing. There is a total contradiction between what we are being told in the Dáil and Seanad and what is happening on the ground.
