Mr. Jim Walsh:

Under the revised structures, we have a strategic implementation group looking at disadvantaged communities and the social determinants of drug use in those areas. It will be chaired by the co-ordinator from one of the partnership companies. All the Departments and community groups will be involved in that group to identify what is needed to address these issues in Ballymun, Darndale and Tallaght, and how to deliver a joined-up approach to address these kind of recurring fundamental structural issues to do with disadvantaged areas. Drawing on the lessons of the north east inner city and Drogheda, I think we need to do more in this area. That is one of the Minister of State's priorities.
