Hopefully, the Minister can bring some clarity to this issue because there is considerable concern about the possible closure of this initiative. As Deputy Ó Broin noted, this initiative has been running for the past 25 years and has given children suffering from social and educational disadvantage an opportunity to access different services so it is imperative that it continues. I am from the area and relatives of mine have used the project and found it very worthwhile. Could the Minister clarify the funding mechanism for the Get Ahead Club, be it through the school completion programme or otherwise? It is important that she clarifies matters.
