Where does the Government stand on this issue? I can understand the spats that take place at election time when people on all sides of the House are looking for votes. However, having read the comments of the Minister of State and the Tánaiste, I have come to the view that Deputy Harney is telling the truth. She wants to cut the schemes. She is responding to the Deloitte & Touche report published 18 months ago which came to that conclusion. I have read that report and disagree with its conclusion. However, the Tánaiste is being honest about this issue because she has always been ideologically opposed to subsidised employment. That is a fair point and one which I will debate with her at any time. I object to the Government's duplicity during the general election campaign when an absolute commitment was given by Deputy Kitt that not one job would be lost. I ask the Minister to state Government policy is on this issue. Can he say he has the unequivocal support of both Government parties on this key issue?
