The Minister has referred to discussions that are taking place with the Coolmine therapeutic centre regarding the provision of a residential centre for heroin addicts from socially deprived areas. This is one of the recommendations of the task force. Is there any time scale in respect of the establishment of such a centre?

The main centre that I have visited is the one that I opened officially is St. Martha's which is run by the Coolmine regime. I have been deeply impressed by the work done at St. Martha's particularly in terms of the therapeutic model there. The task force are considering the prospect of future developments in that area. The Minister of State at my Department who is the Chairman of the task force is working directly and actively on this whole matter. I would point out to Deputy Shatter particularly that a number of matters being dealt with are of a confidential nature, involving the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Justice, and that a lot of action is taken to which we cannot allude in the House.

I will allow a final supplementary on this question.
