Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth
Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion
Ms Sin?ad Harris:
The statutory organisations, including the City of Dublin Youth Services Board, Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board and Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board, are all singing from different hymn sheets. That is where the disconnect arises. Even the statutory bodies that are funders are not in connection with each other and are not giving the same message to the different projects. In Dublin city, service providers will get one message, while people in Tallaght or Ronanstown might be getting a different message. There is a total disconnect.
