My Department is in regular contact with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment regarding the mainstreaming of community employment scheme participants engaged in the provision of assistance to people with disabilities. However, as the Deputy will appreciate, I cannot at this stage give specific commitments in relation to levels of expenditure in 2005 for any particular service as these matters will be decided as part of the discussions on the Estimates and budget for that year between my Department and the Department of Finance.
