Vol. 554 No. 5

Written Answers. - Youth Projects.

Denis Naughten

Ceist:

979 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children if funding will be provided to the Western Health Board to establish a neighbourhood youth project in Monksland, Athlone, County Roscommon in line with its service plan commitment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15799/02]

I understand from the Western Health Board that, in preparation for the full implementation of the Children Act, 2002, additional community support services for young people between the ages of 11 and 17 have been established in Castlerea and Boyle. The board has identified Monksland as the next priority area for such a service. The question of providing additional funding in 2003 will be considered as sympathetically as possible in the light of the resources available and the competing priorities.
