As the Deputy is aware, the project in question was established as part of a series of pilot cocaine interventions. An evaluation of the project is currently being carried out and I expect this will be submitted to my Department in the near future.

Notwithstanding the fact that it was established on a pilot basis, and that the evaluation of the project is not yet complete, I am glad to be able to inform the Deputy that additional funding has been allocated to facilitate its continuation until the report on the evaluation is received and considered.
