Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
General Scheme of the Education (Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse) Bill 2023: Discussion
Ms Maeve Lewis:
I am shocked at the low level of funding that the Christine Buckley Centre is getting. At One in Four, it costs about €1.6 million per year to run the service; about 75% of that is covered by a mix of the HSE, Tusla and the Department of Justice and the rest we have to raise through fundraising and so on. Some 90% of that €1.6 million is staff costs.
