 In observance of International Day of Families, Prime Minister the Honourable Alan Chastney recommitted to a more targeted approach in strengthening social protection on Ireland. He says there are major plans offered to improve assistance mechanisms for the vulnerable through local government. A registration system is being implemented to accurately determine who is in need of support with the basket of services including health insurance, school feeding programs, transportation, e-books and Wi-Fi offering for students in communities. This new registration system that we're going to have is going to be more accurate in determining people with needs. And that's insane to you. If you try to do that out of castries on a national basis, it's going to be complicated. So the goal is to strengthen local government so that the evaluation of these households can be done at a local level which will be much easier to do and I think much more accurate. Parents are encouraged to become involved in sporting organizations to support the youth while the government proceeds to improve facilities and strengthen structures for sports development. We're looking to merge NLA, the National Watchery Association, in with the Gaming Authority so that the Gaming Authority would take on the aspects of the regulations and now create a new entity which would be the Youth and Sports Agency, which would now be targeted to use that money in the manner in which I just said to support the development of the arts and to support the development of sports. What we're doing right now with the sporting facilities and then now trying to create sport clubs throughout the length and breadth of this country and I always make reference to the Aquatic Sports Facility, which is six or seven sporting clubs there, primary level and secondary level. We want to be able to replicate that where you have sporting clubs in each of the constituencies. Those sporting clubs provide sporting games, primary school level, secondary school level and at a senior level and in multiple disciplines. The big challenge here, Alyssa, is to get parents to understand their role in clubs. It's not for the kids who are playing the sports to be going around trying to raise money for all the different things they're doing and to run the sporting club themselves. We need to see a greater level of consistency and that's why we'll be encouraging parents to become active members of different sporting clubs. If you played sports for VSADC and you now have passed the age of playing, volunteer your time back into the association to help build up that association. What the government is intending to do is to make sure the money that we're getting from the NLA, that those monies now go in to help support programs so that we know the time for the coaches, the uniforms, time for the lights, equipment would all be accessed through this fund. International Day of Families was observed May 15.
