Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein)

I would like to paint the picture from the perspective of Donegal. Along with the Minister's colleague, Senator Jimmy Harte, I attended a meeting not so long ago where the array of community employment projects in the county came together. It was a very well run meeting organised by SIPTU. Everybody outlined what their project does in their community, and why their services are so vital to their community. Some of the participants then talked about what community employment meant to them.

I would like to get the Minister's attention when her colleagues is finished speaking to her.
