Charlie McConalogue (FF), Donegal

I thank Deputy Kenny for raising this. We addressed it in Leaders' Questions too. The Government is investing significantly in this. Additional funding was put in place in the budget last year. Up to 900 additional staff were being recruited across the services at the end of last year, which we hope will feed through into this important service. It is crucial that young people get intervention at an early age because it prevents problems down the line. It is something the Government is working on.
