============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I compliment the Minister on the extensive work and benefit to all areas throughout the country arising from this particular initiative. I would like to ask the extent to which she expects to be able to encourage inclusivity in communities throughout the country, to encourage the recognition by communities of others within their community, whether they be local, national, or whatever in an effort to bring together and to encourage the bringing together of people who have common cause, common requirements and will need this encouragement and help in the future.
