Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

Let us compare the relative overheads of the community services programme and the rural social scheme, one we inherited from another agency to which the Deputy referred as being before the Committee of Public Accounts. The rural social scheme was conceived by me and operated by my Department. One can ask the people on the ground which one is working better. If we ask Deputy Bannon which scheme works better, he will tell us.
