John McGuinness

Question:

114 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the grant support which was given by the South-Eastern Health Board to the Youthlynx project, County Kilkenny, each year since 2000; if the grant for 2003 will be made; and if a ?40,000 shortfall will be met by the South-Eastern Health Board. [13322/03]

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. B. Lenihan)

Responsibility for the funding of child care services in Kilkenny rests with the South-Eastern Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the board to examine the health board's support of the Youthlynx project and to respond to the Deputy directly.
