The Minister stated that in certain circumstances the State carries responsibility for insurance. Is it not also true that for public exhibitions and art treasures the Government carry their own insurance? If, for example, the State carries the insurance for third century Chinese horses in Dublin, when they do not move even when struck, is it not strange that the State will not carry insurance for lively hobby horses in community centres throughout the country?

(Limerick East): The question is put so well that it is impossible to reply to it.

They have the facilities — slides, hobby horses etc. — in community centres but they cannot get insurance.

Question No. 8 has gone for written reply. I am calling Question No. 9.

I got no answer. It is the truth, all these places have been closed down because they cannot get insurance.

(Limerick East): The Deputy got no answer because his supplementary had nothing to do with the question. We are talking about community service orders imposed by the courts. We are not talking about sea-saws, swings and hobby horses.

Would the Minister regard it as an obligation on his part, as a Minister of the Government, to see to it that money expended on community centres is used in such a way that the community will benefit? Would he agree that the community cannot benefit if these places cannot get insurance?

(Limerick East): That has nothing at all to do with the question.

It has everything to do with the question.

Would the Minister please reply to Question No. 9?
