I thank the Minister of State for her hard work and that of her team on addressing this important issue, which affects people in Kerry as it does people all over the country.I join the Senator in thanking the Mental Health Commission and its CEO, Mr. John Farrelly, for their work and oversight in respect of this matter.

I welcome to the Public Gallery Mr. David Calleary, nephew of the Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Dara Calleary. David is here on transition year work experience and is most welcome. Thank you for coming to Leinster House. I am sure the Minister of State will be able to teach you a thing or two about getting things done.

We will continue the debate now with Senator Clifford-Lee.
