The Housing Association for Integrated Living, HAIL, provides housing primarily to people with mental health difficulties. The success of the organisation is monumental as it supports our most vulnerable to live securely and independently by providing housing and tailored services. I am certain that without HAIL, the level of homelessness and hospitalisation of our most vulnerable people would be higher. Ahead of the budget, will the Taoiseach consider the merits of the services HAIL provides and be cognisant of meeting its funding needs?

I am not familiar with that particular service but it sounds like a very valuable one. The Minister and the Government will have regard to such considerations when it comes to any budgetary decisions. However, decisions of that nature will not necessarily be made next Tuesday. Once Ministers have their allocations, they will want to develop their service plans on foot of that provision.
