The term "intergenerational trauma", which is a new term to me, is being used increasingly by non-governmental organisations and stakeholders to describe the impact, particularly on young people, of life in severely challenged and disadvantaged parts of the country. Given the ongoing and relatively positive impact of the north-east inner city initiative established under the previous Government, which was predicated in part on the scoping inquiry undertaken at the time by Kieran Mulvey, does the Taoiseach accept that such an approach is very much merited elsewhere, including in parts of my constituency such as west and south Tallaght? Will the Government look positively at engaging a similarly suitable and qualified person to undertake a scoping inquiry into south Tallaght?

I very much agree with the Deputy's sentiment. Work of that nature is under way. Targeting small areas of population that are in the greatest need can produce good results. We have seen some results in the north-east inner city. It is not a case of one size fits all but there is an approach like that happening in Drogheda at the moment, and the Cherry Orchard-Ballyfermot area is also under consideration. We certainly can take west Tallaght into account but it is not possible to apply that approach to every area.
