I congratulate the Minister and her Department on the introduction of the community centres investment fund, which was inspired. Community centres are the centre of communities and a place where young people, and not so young people, can gather to do community activities that are badly needed. From my previous role in the Department of Justice and Equality dealing with youth justice, I know how important these centres are, but many communities do not have one. What plans does the Minister have to assist those communities to get a centre?
