Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I can undertake to get that information. However, issues like this have to be tackled on a multi-agency basis. I was a great supporter of community development projects when I was Minister for Social and Family Affairs. The youth diversion projects have been very successful, and I gave an example of the four that are in existence in the East Wall area alone. There are about 100 of these projects across the country and about €12 million has been given to them in 2008. Some of these projects are in my own constituency and I know they are very successful. They deal with the other agencies as well.
