Senator Ulick Burke has raised a genuine point. He mentioned earlier that the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Lenihan, referred to joined-up Government. We are all in favour of that because it means a better delivery of whatever services are needed to individuals in communities. We spoke about the co-ordination of policies and the operation of the council and the health boards and it will be the role of the liaison officers to address the issue raised by the Senator. There are school principals, the council and the health boards, but the role of the liaison officers is to bring this information together and to ensure there is a co-ordinated approach.
