I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Questions No. 118 of 7 November, 2006 in which I set out the significant developments that are taking place in the Probation Service.

I am pleased to tell the Deputy that I have secured funding of €59.323 million for the Probation Service in 2007 which is an increase of 19.32% over the 2006 allocation of €49.719m.
