Seymour Crawford
Ceist:302 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs his views on whether many community groups who have had a major role in parish and rural development in the past ten years will have major problems to continue their good work as a result of major cutbacks in community employment schemes; and if he will use his influence within Government to have numbers restored and give those on social welfare the opportunity to develop themselves and their area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
