Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 July 2004
207 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Education and Science the supports and financial assistance available to the Irish Centre for Talented Youth by his Department; if he will consider increasing the support to the centre in view of the excellent work it is carrying out; if he has visited or is planning to visit the centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Irish Centre for Talented Youth, CTYI, provides services for the parents of high ability children aged eight to 16 years and the children themselves. As the centre contributes to the development of the potential of individual pupils, my Department makes an annual subvention to CTYI in recognition of its ongoing work in this area. The subvention in 2004 amounts to €86,000. Due to immediate commitments I do not have any plans to visit the centre in the short term.
