asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the work being done by the two Eastern Health Board funded neighbourhood youth projects, in Dublin 1 who work with children, young people and families at risk in view of this being one of the best examples of preventative work done by the Eastern Health Board; the reason staff contracts have been reduced after eight years service, from a six month to a one month renewal basis while a similar project in Cork has been put on a permanent footing; his views on whether these projects should get a more permanent status, and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The issue raised by the Deputy is appropriate to the Eastern Health Board and I have asked the chief executive officer of the board to contact you directly on the matter.
