Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his reply. I do not wish to intrude into the budgetary area to an unnecessary extent and I am sure the Minister would not want me to. Is he is satisfied that each Department is capable of playing the necessary role to bridge the gaps that have been identified and make the necessary contributions in terms of the alleviation of unemployment and meeting the targets already committed to by previous Administrations and the current Administration?
