Youth Guarantee: Department of Social Protection

Mr. Paul Carroll:

That funding is readily available. We have drawn down 40% of it, but we have incurred minimal expense to date because most of the effort is focused on greater utilisation of the resources available rather than having to tap into the funding from the European Union. We will use it over the course of the programme which will run up to the end of December.
