The Deputy will be aware of the support which my Department, through the Eastern Health Board, are giving to the Talbot day centre which is due to move into new accommodation in Buckingham Street shortly. I am very impressed by the Talbot centre's programme and I understand that in its new premises it will be able to make an even more significant contribution to the problems of young people in the inner city area. I intend, with the Eastern Health Board, to evaluate the outcome of the expanded programme at the Talbot centre before considering the funding of any further projects in the area.
