Mr. Bannon: Will the Leader invite to the House the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, who has responsibility for the social inclusion programme, to explain how he intends to support the most disadvantaged in society? It was announced in the budget that 6% of funding would be cut from the programme but it now transpires that 40% has been cut. Is the Minister aware that contracts are being terminated and services withdrawn because those administering the programme had to review their plans because of a recent letter sent to each Leader board? Senator Leyden and I have letters concerning counties Longford and Roscommon.
