Tony Gregory

Question:

[17116/95]

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen)

The Deputy will be aware from my reply of 10 October, 1995 to a question tabled by him that proposals for a community based Youth Diversion Project for the Cherry Orchard Area were being examined. Consideration of these proposals is now at an advanced stage and I would expect formal approval for the Project to be finalised shortly.
