Ceist:119 Mr. M. Ahern asked the Minister for Education if she will make funding available for staff recruitment for the youthreach programme in Fermoy, County Cork. [15057/95]
Written Answers. - Youthreach Programme.
Provision has been made for an additional 450 youthreach places in the education sector in 1995-96. The allocation of these places will seek to ensure, as far as possible, complementarity with the activities of other agencies in particular regions and with the plans of the local area based partnerships under the local urban and rural development operational programme.
My Department will soon be in contact with the vocational education committees, requesting proposals for new places and details of how the youthreach provision will integrate with/complement the other services in their areas. An application from County Cork Vocational Education Committee for the provision of a new youthreach centre in Fermoy will be examined in this context.
