Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

We encourage a Minister of State to put forward his or her concerns to the Tánaiste or the Minister for Finance and to the Taoiseach. The matter is worked out within the party so that we come out united in our approach and united in the best interests of the electorate. That is what has been achieved in this matter. It has been an enormous achievement. Late last year, great concerns were expressed up and down the country about community employment schemes and others of this type.
