Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2021
701. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the budget allocation for the family resource centre programme in each of the years 2018 to 2020 and to date in 2021, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21504/21]
View answerTusla administers the FRC Programme, and Tusla funding supports 121 FRCs across the country. Core funding for the national FRC Programme is provided from my Department (Vote 40). In 2018, the annual budget was approximately €16.5m, and since 2019 has involved the allocation of approximately €18m annually, to Tusla for this purpose.
As budgeting for the FRC Programme is an operational matter for Tusla, I have asked Tusla to respond directly to the Deputy with the information sought.
