Will the Minister ensure that the involvement of the Simon Community in this project in Galway is recognised? I gather it is being financed by the health board and staffed mainly by people from the social service council. I understand that the input of the Simon Community, who are the experts in this field in Galway, is not that great.

I am examining that situation at the moment. I am concerned to ensure that there is no friction between voluntary community organisations and the statutory authorities in Galway, or Wexford or any other part of the country.

I hope the Minister will go further than that and give definite recognition to the work of the Simon Community. A conflict is appearing already and the pity is——

A question Deputy please.

The Simon Community are providing a voluntary service which otherwise would cost quite an amount of money and their input should be very strong in Galway.

Any Minister would try to ensure that there is a joint co-operative role for the voluntary bodies and the statutory agencies. I will be endeavouring to see that that occurs in this critical area.
