I would like to ask about further funding that is going to be allocated for the provision of community services, in particular family resource centres. The Tánaiste will be familiar, from his recent visit to Youghal, which we appreciate, that this is a concern in the community and the town of Youghal. These centres have many benefits. Is the Government in a position to assist with this? Could the Tánaiste perhaps liaise with some State agencies and the Minister for Social Protection to try to provide further support in order that we can secure the family resource centre for the people of Youghal and for east Cork and west Waterford?
