Mr. John McCarthy:
When I said we would not fund them, it was in response to a question about the group as a local authority. We would not fund it as a local authority. I am not familiar with the body about which the Deputy is talking, but there is funding available through community development programmes and other arrangements. It would not be recognised under the law as a local authority.
