The Deputy might note that additional resources have been expended year on year and this has enabled my Department and its agencies to build and lead the efforts to improve outcomes for children and young people in Ireland.
The Revised Estimate for Public Services 2019 makes provision for a gross funding allocation of €1.510 billion for my Department which represents an increase of just under €107 million, or 8%, over the 2018 provision. The extra funding secured in 2019 continues this Government’s commitment to provide high quality services for children and young people
