What specifically will the Minister do for the south inner city area from the south bank of the Liffey down through the Liberties where there are massive problems? There are huge problems and I can put the Minister on to people in the area who will bring him on a walking tour of the area if he does not know what is going on there. Is there any structure that involves the people living in the apartment complexes and housing estates who suffer the greatest social disadvantage? Is there anybody on the committees directing these programmes? If not, they are doomed to failure. We had local representation on the AITs. Can the Minister confirm that the scheme was closed by the last Fine Gael-led Government?
