asked the Minister for Education if he will outline the present position regarding the provision of full-time youth officers for voluntary organisations, the number appointed to date and the groups to which these appointments were made.
Written Answers. - Youth Officers.
17.
Under my Department's development officer scheme 100 grants were approved for voluntary organisations to assist them in employing full-time officers. To date 33 appointments have been made by youth organisations, three by sporting organisations and 24 by other voluntary bodies. I anticipate that appointments will be made in the near future in the remaining 40 cases for which grants have been approved.
A list of the organisations which have already made appointments will, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, be circulated with the Official Report.
