Vol. 504 No. 2
109 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the new schemes or increased funding, if any, made to existing schemes to celebrate the year of the elderly; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11407/99]
As previously indicated to the House, my Department has no specific function in this area. That being said, many water-based leisure activities are particularly suitable for all age groups, as are forestry based pursuits such as leisure walks. Therefore, I will be encouraging all involved in these sectors to increase the level of participation by older people in such activities.
