Since 1 July 2020, and following a reform process, targeted youth funding is provided under the UBU Your Place Your Space scheme. Before the launch of this scheme, targeted youth funding was provided under the Targeted Youth Funding Scheme (TYFS) and the Revised Youth Funding Scheme (RYFS).

Due to the cross-border and inter-county work of a number of youth services, it is not possible to provide data of youth funding per county. Funding for the provision of targeted youth services is administered on behalf of my Department by the 16 Education and Training Boards (ETBs). I have therefore provided details of targeted youth funding by my Department for 2019 and 2020 per ETB area below for the Deputy. I have also included funding provided for Youth Information Centres (YICs).

I secured an increase of €5 million in funding for youth services in 2021. €66.8 million is being provided to youth services nationwide this year. Funding during Covid-19 restrictions was fully maintained. The additional funding allocated to youth services in 2021 will support the delivery of universal and targeted youth services nationwide, with a particular view to the role played by youth services in fostering resilience and developing the social and personal competencies of young people.
