Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

My Department has an administrative arrangement(s) with Pobal for the provision of services across a number of childcare and youth programmes. The total value of payments made to Pobal for these programmes in 2013 amounted to €101 million (inclusive of administrative costs). Also, since the Department of Children and Youth Affairs was established in July 2011 the Department of Health has provided Accounts and IT support to my Department.
