I did not interrupt the Minister. I ask her to give serious consideration to how that scheme is being run. We need to be given a full account in Dáil as to how it is being run, how much it is costing the State and what percentage people are on for bringing in people from all over the country.

I support the small increases the Minister has made in the budget but I would have liked them to have gone much further. I hope she will take that into account for next year's budget.
