Community Development. (24 Apr 2007)

Brian O'Shea: I did not learn a great deal from the Minister's reply. The question I tabled was based on one of the aims set out in the Department's mission statement.

Drug Abuse. (24 Apr 2007)

Brian O'Shea: I heard what the Minister of State stated and I accept that the case described is exceptional, but I was raising the fact that there does not appear to be anywhere for the young man to go when he is in such an awful state.
