Departmental Funding
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-13
============================================================

Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I feel strongly that the families of drug users need to have appropriate, accessible and timely services available to them. I know the Family Addiction Support Network in Dundalk and across the country is aiding people who are often unaware that there is any help available at all. I intend to continue to work with all the relevant stakeholders across the statutory and community and voluntary sectors to achieve better outcomes for problem drug and alcohol abusers. I am aware that FASN, and all organisations providing addiction supports, have adapted to new ways of working during the pandemic. I will work with the Deputy. I encourage the FASN to engage with the HSE regarding the funding announced in budget 2021 for the region. It is the HSE that it will work with, and the Deputy can contact me if any issues arise.
