Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: I have a question about funding for youth projects. The Department gives funding to Pobal and the education and training boards, ETBs. I am looking at the figures for funding for youth work in counties Laois and Offaly. They are the two counties with the highest percentage of ten- to 24-year-olds and they consistently receive the lowest level of funding. In 2021 the total amount of...

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: Per head of population of young people aged between ten years and 24 years, there is 12 times more going to one ETB, namely, the City of Dublin Education and Training Board, CDETB, than there is going to Laois and Offaly Education and Training Board, LOETB. That is 12 times the amount.

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: Youth Work Ireland has been trying to address this. The ETB has been trying to do it. Laois and Offaly ETB is progressive and active. In the past ten years, it has dramatically expanded the number of areas it covers. It administers the funding and this is causing a problem locally in terms of funding projects. The funding is critical for Youth Work Ireland, Foróige and local clubs....

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: I thank Mr. McCarthy. Representatives from Tusla were before the committee recently. I wish to say two things about this matter. The first concerns unaccompanied minors arriving in Ireland. They arrive and become Tusla's responsibility to deal with, home and process. These minors are, literally, landed at its front door. Supervision must be provided for these children in bed and...

Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (18 Apr 2024) Brian Stanley: I also have a question about Tusla in the context of the recruitment of social workers, because they are clearly under pressure. The figures show that there were 57 fewer social workers in recent years, with the number dropping from 1,669 in 2021 to 612 the following year. Again, there is an issue here in relation to staff recruitment, staff training and the workforce supply pipeline. What...
