Bernard Allen (Cork North Central, Fine Gael)

Question 266: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the reason funding has been withdrawn from the Community Workers Co-operative national organisation; and if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the decision to withdraw funding has been viewed as an attempt to silence an organisation which has sought to promote debate on the way in which to tackle the causes of poverty and injustice in society; and if he will reconsider his decision.
