Pádraig O'Sullivan: I will be brief because I have four supplementaries. First, will the Minister of State clarify that Cork County Council has drawn its full allocation from the previous year? I believe it has. Second, the Minister of State mentioned the double allocation, and obviously that additional funding is welcome, but Cork County Council requested more than €5 million last year and received...

Joe O'Brien: The Deputy will appreciate that I might not have the answers to all of the questions he has asked. As the LIS is not my dedicated function, I am not all over the detail. He asked about the level of drawdown by Cork County Council. My understanding is that the council fell short some years back but has improved its drawdown rate more recently. I will get some facts for the Deputy on that....

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I think it was about the full allowance being drawn down.

Joe O'Brien: We will get back to the Deputy with some detail on that.

Catherine Connolly: I am jumping all over the place because many Members are not here. We might be able to take Question No. 91 because Deputy Martin Kenny is present to introduce it on behalf of Deputy Ó Laoghaire. Likewise, Deputy Darren O'Rourke is here to introduce Question No. 93 and Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan is here to introduce Question No. 98.

Martin Kenny: I take it that the Minister of State was not expecting us to reach Question No. 91, which relates to participation in libraries around the country, the number of people who are members of our libraries and how much they are used. What can be done to get more people to use our library facilities, which in many areas are excellent? We spoke earlier about needing more investment. We never...

Joe O'Brien: I have an issue in that I do not have a prepared response for Question No. 91.

Joe O'Brien: The best I can do is to tell the Deputy that we will get back to him with some detail on that. I simply do not have the information available.

Catherine Connolly: By any stretch of the imagination, Question No. 98, in the name of Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan, was not expected to be reached.

Pádraig O'Sullivan: To be fair, I did not expect Question No. 98 to be reached. Nationally, €30 million was allocated for greenfield sites for new community centres in the last round of the community centre investment fund. I am aware of four projects in Cork, two of which were mentioned by Deputy Gould earlier. I am advocating for a significant upward review of that €30 million in light of the...

Joe O'Brien: The expectation is that decisions will be made on the community centre investment fund by the end of the year. That is as much information as I have on it. I have nothing here to support that.

Joe O'Brien: Given that it is World Mental Health Day, maybe we could take a 20-minute mental health break.
