Will the Minister of State raise with his colleague, the Minister of State, Deputy John Curran, the fact that there seems to be a trend running through Government policy on social inclusion. We have seen the amalgamation of community development projects and the closure of some, which is wrong. I am genuinely worried. The Minister of State referred to the programme in Ballyfermot, "Can You Hack It?", which, as mentioned on "Morning Ireland" today, might be closed. That would be a wrong move. It is a six week programme undertaken in the community. I hope the Minister of State will come back into the House in the new year and that we will look at this matter again because it is important.

I thank the Cathaoirleach for allowing me to raise so many Adjournment matters during the year. It is a valuable exercise.
