Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

Yes. I am sorry for saying this on the Order of Business, but the important point is that we must get this part of that organisation to work with the services provided by social welfare to improve the choice for people in that area. Similarly, the skills training part will deal with the Department of Education and Skills. I outlined in a statement to the House yesterday the purpose of this and how we will proceed with it. This must be arranged, co-ordinated and then proceeded with.
