I raise the situation regarding community employment schemes, particularly as they apply to the Irish Wheelchair Association. Personal carers are to be withdrawn. The Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Fahey, and the chief executive of the association, Séamus Thompson, met yesterday. Perhaps the critical situation of recent days may be resolved. Mr. Thompson outlined the position in his letter of 25 June. I look forward to the Minister of State's comments.
