Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 March 2017
605. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the amount of grant-in-aid provided to each of the national youth organisations from 2006 to 2016 under the youth services grant scheme, in tabular form; the measures she is taking to address the cut in funding; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14921/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn 2017, funding of €57.4m has been provided to my Department for various youth schemes, an increase of €5.5m over 2016. The additional funding is being used for programmes that target disadvantaged young people and to assist national youth organisations in their work to support local voluntary youth services. My Department administers a range of funding schemes and programmes to support the provision of youth services to young people throughout the country including those from disadvantaged communities. These schemes include the Youth Service Grant Scheme under which funding is made available on an annual basis to thirty national and major regional youth organisations amounting to €10.65m in 2017. This funding is intended to ensure the emergence, promotion, growth and development of youth organisations with distinctive philosophies and programmes aimed at the social education of young people.
Details of the organisations supported under the Youth Service Grant Scheme and the amount of grant aid provided to each of the national youth organisations from 2006 to 2016 under the scheme are outlined hereunder.
