Vol. 568 No. 6
272 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Transport the exact official definition used by his Department of the terms "disadvantage", "disadvantaged area" and "disadvantaged community"; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17022/03]
My Department is responsible for securing the provision of improved transport and national road networks which benefit all sectors of the community and facilitate better access generally to employment, educational and social opportunities. In this context, it has not been necessary to officially define the terms "disadvantage", "disadvantaged area" or "disadvantaged community".
