I point out to Deputy Ó Caoláin that another amendment we agreed today dealt with the provision of a community development resource to promote child and family support services. Also, part of section 8 contains quite a lot of detail about grant-giving. Section 59 goes into some detail about how assistance can be provided by the new agency under a grant scheme. The Family Support Agency operated a grant scheme. I would be very happy to have a more detailed briefing with Deputy Ó Caoláin on this particular issue, if that would be of help, prior to Report Stage.
