Mr. Niamh O'Donoghue:
As with any pilot scheme, we try to engage on a particular basis to see if there is a positive impact and learn from it. We can see if it is a question of replication or doing something else based on experience. I understand there will be approximately 90 young people involved per month in the Ballymun pilot scheme and the thrust is that we work with a range of groups in the area and in a joined-up fashion as much as we possibly can.
