Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I have a third question. Is it intended to introduce legislation to change the regulations governing jobs initiatives and community employment? As the Taoiseach will know, in all our community development areas people are frantic about what they believe is a major threat to their jobs, training and access to training. All the local services such as youth work, senior care, meals on wheels and so on will be affected by the measures the Taoiseach's Government apparently will bring forward next Wednesday. Can the Taoiseach calm the fears of the community sector? I believe he is familiar with it.
