I took the opportunity to meet representatives of the relevant organisations in a pre-budget forum and I try to meet them as often as possible to address the issues they raise on an ongoing basis. I rely on those organisations to put forward their concerns. The pre-budget forum last year was considering spending €3 billion more than was available in the Department's budget, so, naturally, I could not deliver on everything. However, I take on board many of the issues involved. The Department will work in partnership with others in the coming years and will try to deliver on those issues.
