Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

The report by Clann Óg stated that Clonmel is under-resourced with regard to the number of youth workers in the town delivering youth programmes, a deficiency which precluded the development of important initiatives which could have enhanced social inclusion. Clonmel has not been granted funding for facilities and services for young people or for the springboard project and has not received adequate funding for projects under the drugs task force fund in 2005. I ask the Minister of State to read the Clann Óg report and to put Clonmel on the map for the youth services fund and additional youth resource workers.
