Maureen O'Sullivan (Dublin Central, Independent)

My concern is for those who have not yet been approached. Perhaps they will all be approved. I have been involved in the young people's facilities and services fund since its establishment in the late 1990s and I chaired the group for the north inner city. It does great work for the capital money it receives. I welcome the provision of a small grants fund this year. This funding went a long way in the north inner city.
