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.  Targeted supports for disadvantaged, marginalised and at risk young people are provided through the Special Projects for Youth Scheme, the Young Peoples Facilities and Services Fund, Rounds 1 and 2, Local Drugs Task Force Projects and certain other programmes including the Local Youth Club Grant Scheme and Youth Information Centres.   

Details of the funding provided to youth services and projects by my Department for 2017 are not  readily available in the format requested by the Deputy.  The funding for the provision of youth services is administered on behalf of my Department by the sixteen Education and Training Boards. In many instances the functional areas of ETBs covers more than one county.  The capital and current funding provided to each ETB for the youth services within its functional area is outlined in the accompanying table.
