101 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Social Welfare the present position in relation to the date of publication of the proposed White Paper on the role of voluntary organisations in the social area.
As set out in the Programme for Competitiveness and Work, the Government is committed to the publication this year of the White Paper on partnership between the State and the voluntary sector.
The White Paper will set out a framework for partnership between the State and voluntary organisations in the future. In the preparation of the paper my Department has undertaken an extensive process of consultation with voluntary sector groups.
