Teachtaí Gerry Adams agus Micheál Martin raised this morning the recent number of suicides in Cork and the Taoiseach referred to some of the interventions which were made afterwards. I am from the communities to which the Taoiseach referred. Those interventions were actually sought and initiated by the community. While I commend the HSE and the services that assisted and provided that, the reality is that there is no off-the-shelf approach to deal with spikes like that by way of community interventions. Will the Taoiseach demand from the task force that it establishes a standard procedure to deal with spikes like that to allow communities to respond rapidly to put an end to and halt any possibility of a knock-on effect?

There is no set procedure here, but where a phenomenon like this has occurred and where there are, as unfortunately we have had in the past, what are termed "copycat arrangements" or "copycat outcomes", work such as that now being undertaken in Cork is done to deal with this spike and phenomenon. What I outlined to Deputy Martin earlier deals with the work the community and those who are expert in this area are now putting in place. I mentioned the national task force. Obviously, Cork will be the recipient of the facilities of Jigsaw in 2017 also.

My apologies to the six Deputies who have not got in, but time has now elapsed.
