Community Employment Schemes: Motion.
National school groups from Ballyfermot, Finglas and all over Dublin have visited the centre. Little gentlemen from Eton were exposed to the realities of the north inner city through our education programme. We got a wonderful letter back from their English master saying they had never encountered anything like it in their lives. I am not surprised and I hope it broadened the scope and range of their imaginations. We are approaching a significant cultural event, the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday in 2004. We have lost our two librarians who are paid with the assistance of the National Library and we will lose the FÁS scheme as well even though it is a flagship scheme.
