Ciarán Cannon (Galway East, Fine Gael)

Perhaps the reply is badly phrased. The Senator is correct that it refers to 1,000 of the hours being allocated to Cork when in fact 2,768 hours are allocated for the two centres. The centre caters for children aged between 12 and 16 years and that is correct information. I will take the Senator's concerns on board. He will know that the Minister, Deputy Quinn and the operators of the Life centre have been in discussions and it is hoped there will be a positive outcome from that engagement.
