Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 December 2020
165. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth his plans to support scouting from the recent budget allocation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42274/20]
View answerI have secured an additional €5 million in current funding for youth services nationally as part of Budget 2021. This additional funding will be allocated to youth services in the coming year to support the delivery of universal and targeted youth services nationwide. My officials are currently working on the apportionment of these funds in the context of the publication of the Revised Estimates Volume. As such, I am not in a position as yet to provide a detailed breakdown of these allocations.
