John Lahart (FF), Dublin South-West

The term "intergenerational trauma", which is a new term to me, is being used increasingly by non-governmental organisations and stakeholders to describe the impact, particularly on young people, of life in severely challenged and disadvantaged parts of the country. Given the ongoing and relatively positive impact of the north-east inner city initiative established under the previous Government, which was predicated in part on the scoping inquiry undertaken at the time by Kieran Mulvey, does the Taoiseach accept that such an approach is very much merited elsewhere, including in parts of my constituency such as west and south Tallaght? Will the Government look positively at engaging a similarly suitable and qualified person to undertake a scoping inquiry into south Tallaght?
