Vol. 361 No. 2

Written Answers. - Comhairle Le Leas Óige.

24.

asked the Minister for Education if she will reconsider her decision to discontinue the supplementary grants to Comhairle Le Leas Óige which has been used very beneficially for the employment of part-time teachers in youth clubs in deprived areas.

I have no intention of discontinuing the grant-aid which my Department provides for the operations of An Chomhairle Le Leas Óige. I have, in fact, increased the amount of this grant by 5 per cent to £559,000 in 1985. The allocation of this grant as between the various activities undertaken by Comhairle Le Leas Óige is a matter for determination by an comhairle itself, subject to the approval of the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee.
