254. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will consider flying the Amber Flag from his Department buildings, on a chosen day, in order to raise awareness of the Amber Flag programme, which works to raise awareness of mental health issues within second level schools, sports clubs and youth organisations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department is fully supportive of the promotion of positive mental health. However this Department currently confines itself to flying the National and EU flags in line with current protocols. Any change to this protocol from the Protocol and General Division of the Department of the Taoiseach will be followed by my Department.
