Dr. Fergal Lynch:

On the youth clubs, there is not a recognised definition and a number of these youth schemes have been quite general in their criteria for granting money to them so there is no specific definition that I am aware of, but we are looking at all of these schemes currently and we are hoping to pull a number of them together into one single youth grant scheme which would operate over the next number of years. We have attempted to support local youth clubs through Irish and I am aware of some funding that has been given for that purpose.

Returning to the earlier question-----
