Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 July 2006
60 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will support the Tramore Youth and Family Project, Tramore, County Waterford in their efforts to employ another member of staff in order to manage and co-ordinate the services and programmes in their youth cafe. [27281/06]
View answerMy Office is currently developing a recreation policy for young people aged 12-18 in conjunction with a number of Government Departments and agencies directly involved in the provision of recreation facilities and programmes for young people. The policy will be available this year. It is intended that the issue of youth cafes will be dealt with in the policy. The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive (HSE) under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
