Damien English (Meath, Fine Gael)

How much money has been spent on this area? We were promised that €40 million would be spent over a five-year period. When speaking to young people they ask for facilities in which to meet, work etc. Most importantly they want centres at which to socialise. However, these have been provided in very few places. With all this consultation why can we not get what the young people want? While everything the Minister of State outlined is very important, the money promised has not been allocated.
