It is already Government policy to target disadvantaged areas. The young people's facilities and services fund was formed a couple of years ago. That fund particularly targets disadvantaged areas and provides facilities and capital projects.
There is no doubt that disadvantaged areas have been lacking in facilities, mainly because there was not an ability to raise the local contribution. That has been greatly helped by the young people's facilities and services fund. If there were a proper national audit, however, it would still show that disadvantaged areas do not get their fair share of such facilities.
The priority is to undertake that national audit and then to have a long-term strategy which would involve analysing, getting into the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism national capital programme and perhaps laying down specific criteria which commit much of that to disadvantaged areas. That is what I would like to see.
Much has been done under the young people's facilities and services fund, but there is a need to get the indicators and proof that those areas need more. Returning to the previous questions, it is all well and good asking people to be good citizens but one needs to be able to divert young people into other useful projects in such areas as sport and the arts.
