Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

I do not know about the particular projects the Deputy is talking about. We are undertaking an overall reform of the youth services grant scheme, which has been there since the 1980s and has not been adapted or changed since then.

There are some big questions we are considering in respect of potential future directions for how services are supported and how our allocations are made in the sector. That forms part of a wider commitment to try to develop a new strategy for youth services more generally.
