The western regional drugs task force covers the counties of Galway, Mayo and Roscommon and this task force, in line with the other nine RDTFs, submitted an action plan to the national drugs strategy team in 2005. An initial sum of €340,000 was subsequently sanctioned to enable the task force to kick start the implementation of the actions contained in that plan. It is the intention of the western RDTF to formally launch its plan on Monday, 27 February. In the meantime, I will arrange for a copy of the plan, which outlines all the personnel involved in the task force, to be forwarded to the Deputy.
