Covid-19 (Drug and Alcohol Services, and Homelessness): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-18
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I have made more than €1 million available for local drugs task forces.
We also have up to €460,000 for targeted initiatives which we are seeking from various task forces. Again, I pay tribute to the great work the task forces are doing. I am aware of the awful situation in the Deputy's constituency, and the Deputy raised it with me previously. I am looking forward to a report that is due to come from the constituency. That will inform us of how best to move forward as well. I thank the Deputy for raising these issues. I am available to meet the local task force when we are allowed to after the Covid-19 lockdown. However, I have met most of the task forces online.
