asked the Minister for Labour what plans, if any, he has to develop the AnCO training centre in Gweedore, County Donegal.

AnCO are at present reviewing the training capacity of all their training centres, including Gweedore. This review is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Would the Minister care to comment on local rumour to the effect that it is proposed to close the centre at Gweedore?

I cannot be blamed for any local rumours in Donegal. I assure the Deputy and the House that there is no such intention.

Can we take that for granted?

The Deputy and the House can.

For the record, while I accept the Minister's indication that the AnCO centre in Gweedore is not going to be closed down, unfortunately the stenographer cannot record a nod of the head. Would the Minister for the record state clearly that the AnCO centre in Gweedore is not closing down?

I already gave that assurance.

Not by word.

The Minister answered that.

By indication but not by word. Can I take it that the Minister is guaranteeing——

The future of the Gweedore centre; I am, of course.
