Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 January 2022
261. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth if his Department will provide funding for Young Ballymun's new early intervention programme focusing on playgroups; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2780/22]
View answerFrom the information supplied by the Deputy, it's not immediately clear which exact service the Deputy is referring to. However, I have referred the Deputy's question to Tusla for direct response on the basis of their current investment in Young Ballymun as part of their prevention and early intervention response and the Tusla Area Based Childhood Programme. I will of course be happy to respond to any additional or clarifying questions the Deputy may have should this fail to supply the information the Deputy is seeking.
