Ms Amy Carey:

To follow up on street work, the TRY project in Dublin 8 was mentioned. It has been in existence for about five years as a street work model and for the last year has moved in to Solas Project so it is part of our organisation now. The journey of TRY, similar probably to Connect 4, has been one of scrambling for funding. It has not necessarily fit anywhere. If this is a model that we are seeing the value of in different communities, we should look at how we streamline and mainstream that so it is not cobbling together bits and pieces of money. It was initially funded through a regeneration project in St. Theresa's Gardens and then it was under HSE drugs funding. Now it has moved into the Department of Justice in terms of funding. It is kind of just being thrown around the place. It is probably something that needs to be looked at in the context of youth work generally and not just as a justice response, which is where it is now. It is that piece of bridging and reaching the young people who are not connecting with services.
