722.

View answerI met with a delegation from the Bluestack Foundation on Thursday 26 April 2018 and undertook to liaise with the HSE regarding possible core funding for this organisation. On the 7 of June 2018, I was advised by the HSE that funding for the Bluestack Foundation is not available presently. The HSE propose to include an estimates bid for the Bluestack Foundation for 2019 and the HSE Management locally will continue to keep in discussions with the organisation accordingly.
