The Minister referred to the mapping out of provisions for youth services and youth support. When I speak to organisations such as Teach Solais in Galway, Gay Project and LINC in Cork, or phonelines such as Gay Switchboard and the LGBT helpline all seem to apply to different funding streams.

Sometimes that is welcome because when the austerity junkies are around and things are cut back, separate funding channels can protect services and so on. Should those services be streamlined? I have a concern that less money is going to services in County Cork. Will that issue be addressed in the mapping exercise?
