I propose to take Questions Nos. 32 to 37, inclusive, together.
Overall policy responsibility for Youthreach rests with my colleague, the Minister for Education and Science. Those aspects of the delivery of Youthreach which come within the ambit of my Department are day-to-day operational matters for FÁS. I have, therefore, arranged for FÁS to supply the Deputy with the information sought in so far as it relates to FÁS provision.
