Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

The Family Resource Centre Programme is administered by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. At present there are 109 Family Resource Centres in operation throughout the country, and 11 additional centres will be fully operational by the end of 2018.

As the process for establishing new Family Resource Centres, under the Family Resource Centre Programme, is a matter for Tusla, I have requested Tusla to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
