Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 May 2022
143. Deputy Kathleen Funchion asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the amount allocated in 2020, 2021 and 2022 to Tusla for family resource centres; and the amount of this allocation that was drawn down for 2020 and 2021, in tabular form. [26772/22]
View answerTusla, the Child and Family Agency, administers the Family Resource Centre (FRC) Programme which provides funding support to 121 FRCs across the country. My Department allocates core funding for the FRC Programme and for the years 2020, 2021 and 2022, this has amounted to approximately €18m annually.
As budgeting and drawdown of funding for the FRC Programme is an operational matter for Tusla, I have asked Tusla to respond directly to the deputy, to provide the information sought.
