Vol. 484 No. 3

Written Answers. - Drugs Task Force.

Ceist:

324 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if money will be made available from a drugs task force to fund a full-time secretarial service and extension workers to promote the community games as part of the programme to combat drug abuse; if his attention has been drawn to the enormous difficulties the community games organisation is facing with voluntary staff and elected committees endeavouring to involve young people from all 400 community areas in Dublin city and county where 1.5 million people reside. [21908/97]

The targeting of drugs task force funding is a matter in the first instance for the task force themselves, who prepare plans for the National Drugs Strategy Team for submission to Government for approval for funding. No proposal along the lines referred to by the Deputy has been included in any of the task force plans.
