Pádraig O'Sullivan (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Cork Life Centre, with its many stakeholders, has spent years engaging with the Department of Education on proper funding for its service. Following negotiations during the summer of 2021, in which the Taoiseach and I were involved, the centre accepted an interim funding agreement with the Department based on a commitment that talks would continue and a framework would be put in place to provide for sustainable payment and security of jobs at the centre. Will the Taoiseach update us on the framework? Will he provide us with an update on the out-of-school provision report, which was initiated in 2017? When are we likely to see it published?
