I have another specific question. Some employment projects are doing fantastic work. WALK is one such programme. Year after year, it lobbies committees to try to get funding to ensure it can continue, which is ludicrous. It provides tangible benefits for people with disabilities. If we are serious about putting in place measures which work and benefit those with disabilities why is that the case? Projects such as WALK should be rolled out across the State. Maybe I could get a specific answer to that.
