Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

The truth is that in some cases we have no volunteers for any of these programmes four years on, yet this process is supposed to be completed. The Minister has made no suggestion to the people he says have to make a move. It is up to him to do so. It is a Government programme, yet the Minister is making no suggestion to the people concerned. That is the problem. The Minister must show leadership; it is not for the Irish Congress of Trade Unions to deliver Government policy.
