Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

In response to Senator Doherty, I met some of the young people from Gweedore who came to Dáil na nÓg recently and I pay tribute to them. They came straight up to me to explain the circumstances and the shortcomings, and the fact that funding was stopped. I assure Senator Doherty that, thanks to them, I am fully aware of the problems in Gweedore. It is an area in which I wish to concentrate any available resources, whether in youth cafés, youth work provision or, in the future, youth diversion projects.
