Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour)

The pressure arises because the Minister, Deputy Gormley, is pulling in one direction and the rest of the Government is pulling in what is probably the correct direction by addressing the matter in line with the recommendations of Forfás and the NCC. Irrespective of what else happens, this issue will have to be addressed. I ask the Minister of State to bring cohesion to Government policy in this regard.
