Senator White spoke about Age Action. I agree that the organisation does excellent work on behalf of the elderly. The House had a consultation group on the elderly and a very good report was commissioned. I will not discuss what Fianna Fáil did for the elderly as opposed to what this Government is doing. The reason for the cutbacks over recent years was the state of the country after Fianna Fáil's time in office.
