Amharc ar fhreagraBalgaddy Child and Family Centre has sought to be included within the Family Resource Centre Programme operated by the Child and Family Agency. The Programme is closed at present to new applications. I understand that discussions have been held between the Agency and the Centre and that a further meeting is due to take place in October to discuss the matter.
