I propose to take Questions Nos. 51 and 132 together.
I am aware of the concerns of the non-governmental organisations, NGOs, in relation to decentralisation. These concerns were most recently set out in a letter received from Dochas, the umbrella organisation which represents Irish NGOs involved in development overseas, to which my colleague, the Minister, Deputy Dermot Ahern, replied on 31 January. In his letter, the Minister, Deputy Ahern, stated that decentralisation is a Government decision to which we are committed. My departmental officials are currently involved in detailed planning and implementation of the decentralisation project. We look forward to continued engagement and co-operation with NGOs throughout the process of decentralisation.
