Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

A significant level of urgency has been afforded to this matter and a considerable amount of money has already been invested. Between 2005 and 2007, €6 million was spent, under the research stimulus fund programme, on 13 projects. There has been a great deal of investment in Oak Park and other centres. This matter is being treated with urgency. The review to which I referred earlier will provide a reality check on where we stand. While we may start off with the best of intentions, there is always need to tweak and change things to make them better. That is what is happening in this instance. This important part of Government policy is being refined and developed.
