Gino Kenny (Dublin Mid West, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source

I concur with my follow Dublin Mid-West Deputies. This is a unique project that has been in operation for 25 years in the Clondalkin-Lucan area. I have first-hand knowledge of it. My niece attended the Carline project. She will not mind me saying this because I have said it to her already but she dropped out of school. She went to the Carline project, completed the leaving certificate this year and is now doing a full-time course. She says that if it had not been for the Carline project, she probably would have taken a different road education-wise. I can say that in respect of the many young people who use the facility. It is a great facility that prevents young people taking a different road from the one they should take. It is imperative that this project is properly funded.
