I am fully aware that the HSE has withdrawn its service from the Canal Communities partnership. A review of the Canal Communities partnership in the north inner city was conducted, which raised a number of issues on which the HSE has not been able to come to an amicable agreement. I fully support the HSE's decision to withdraw its co-ordinator and its other representative from the canals partnership. The HSE is working with the groups being funded through the task force to resolve some of the issues on the ground. I am fully aware that the HSE has withdrawn its service from the partnership, with which I fully agree.
