Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is allocated €66.8 million in funding to support the provision of youth services nationwide. This funding was maintained fully during Covid-19 restrictions and has enabled the youth sector to continue to provide supports to young people, particularly to marginalised, disadvantaged and vulnerable young people.
All youth funding programmes received an increased allocation in 2021 arising from the additional €5 million in Budget 2021 for youth services. The breakdown of my Department's funding for the youth sector is provided below for the Deputy.
