Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 26 October 2005
247 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the case of a group (details supplied) in County Tipperary which has applied for the appointment of a youth officer for its area. [30785/05]
View answerThe youth affairs section of my Department received an application for funding under the special projects for youth scheme on behalf of the group referred to by the Deputy. It was not possible to accede to this request this year due to the large number of applications received, over 70 in total. Application forms for the 2006 round of grants will issue shortly and every consideration will be given to a renewed application from the group having regard to the overall financial provision for the youth sector next year.
