Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2019
74. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the role of the board of City of Dublin Youth Service Board, CDYSB, in addressing the issues that arose in the report, Organisation Review of the City of Dublin Youth Service Board; and the implications for the delivery of youth work in the area covered by the board.

Amharc ar fhreagraI understand the review that the Deputy refers is an internal organisational review commissioned by City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB), and carried out by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA).
I understand from my colleague, The Minster for Education and Skills, that the findings of this review are currently being discussed within CDETB, who are engaging with relevant parties concerning the review findings. I further understand that once this process has concluded CDETB will update officials in the Department of Education and Skills as to how they intend to proceed.
The management and oversight of youth project funding lies with my Department, with ETBs acting as grant-administering bodies for the disbursement of funding under the various youth funding schemes.
However, as the Deputy will be aware, the overall management and governance of ETBs is the responsibility of the Minster of Education and Skills.
