The Deputy might wish to note that the national recreation policy for young people has not yet been published but I expect that it will be published during 2007.

The Steering Group overseeing the development of the national recreation policy completed its work last June. Since then, considerable work has been undertaken by my Office in finalising the policy in consultation with relevant Government Departments and Agencies who will have a crucial role to play in the implementation of a range of individual actions.
