When does the Minister expect the roll-out of the signalled new youth cafés to commence? Will she share with the House the locations of these new initiatives? How many youth cafés will be in situ with the advent of the additional eight indicated? Regarding the area-based approach to the child poverty initiative that she announced as part of the two new strands to deal with child deprivation and marginalisation, she has supported projects through the Prevention and Early Intervention Programme for Children in Tallaght, Ballymun and Darndale. She indicated recently that she expected to increase the number from three to six. Has she been able to conclude that further section? If not, when will she be in a position to do so? If she has, will she share with us where the new projects will get under way?
