The Family Resource Centre Programme is administered by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. At present there are 120 Family Resource Centres (FRCs) throughout the country. Funding to the Family Resource Centre Programme increased substantially in 2018. This allowed for the inclusion of 11 newly established Family Resource Centres within the Programme last year, as well as an increase in annual funding to existing FRCs.

The process for establishing a Family Resource Centre, under the Family Resource Centre Programme, is an operational matter. I have requested Tusla to respond directly to the Deputy.
