Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

I propose to take Questions Nos. 707 and 712 together.

The gross funding allocation to my Department in 2017 amounts to €1.311 billion. Full details of the resource provisions across the individual Subheads in the Vote are set out in the 2017 Revised Estimates for Public Services as published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The funds have been fully allocated and the financial provisions support a range of key services in respect of children and young people. The resource requirements for 2018 to support the continued implementation of the programmes and services administered by my Department will be considered in the context of the budget and estimates process.
