Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2016
662. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs her plans to provide new funding to a project (details supplied) following the success of the previous programme, which provided educational support, meals and activities for local children; if she will give details; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30738/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI greatly value the work carried out by the service you describe and by other services assisting vulnerable young people to ensure that they complete their education. At present there are no schemes available in my Department through which funding could be provided to this service; however I have made enquiries on their behalf and I understand that this service has been successful in securing funding elsewhere.
