350 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding the issues outlined in relation to funding for the Irish Girl Guides in a submission (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14268/98]
The overall level of resources made available for the provision of youth work services in 1998 is £13,567,000 representing an increase of 1.7 per cent over the provision for 1997.
Due to the high level of ongoing commitments, it has not been possible in the current year to provide for increases in the level of grant aid made available to individual organisations.
However, additional funding is being sought for 1998 and in the event of such funding becoming available, the level of support made available to youth organisations will be reviewed.
