In the correspondence I received, Youth Work Ireland Galway disputes the figure of a 10% cut indicated in the comprehensive review of expenditure. Youth Work Ireland Galway stated it had worked out the figure was 6.5% figure. It was stated that discretion is given to the City of Dublin Youth Service Board, which allocates the funding, but it has chosen to apply a 10% cut across the board, which may not be the best for the Galway-based organisation. I ask the Minister of State to bring back to the Minister that there should be some form of consultation with the Galway organisation to see whether the cuts can be implemented in another way which would not put the job or services in jeopardy.
