Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2018
593. Deputy Eugene Murphy asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the amount of funding allocated to an organisation (details supplied) in each of the years 2011 to 2017 and to date in 2018, by county in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43956/18]
View answerMy Department has not provided direct funding to the named organisation in the years specified by the Deputy. However, the Deputy might wish to note that Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, provides funding to the organisation in question under Sections 56-59 of the Child and Family Agency Act, 2013. In addition, Oberstown Children's Detention Campus provide funding to the organisation for the purpose of targeting young people leaving Oberstown.
My Department does not hold detailed information on the amount of funding these two agencies provided to the organisation as this is an operational matter. However, I have asked both agencies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested.
