Michael D. Higgins
Question:161 Mr. M. Higgins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his Department proposes to accept their responsibilities as the funding agency for the Bris programme which was discontinued in the west side of Galway City, in terms of their obligations to the community worker to whom an award was made on foot of the ending of their employment on the sudden ending of this project, and which remains outstanding; and if his attention has been drawn to the fact that those who acted as agents for his Department are claiming inability to pay and that as a result the community worker involved is being deprived of the award that has been made to them by an independent statutory authority.
