Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (6 Mar 2019) Anne Rabbitte: The increase in funding for youth organisations and services is welcome. I do not want to stray into other issues, but what prerequisites or boxes need to be ticked ahead of that funding being allocated? I ask with a mind to safeguarding. When groups make applications, are there certain terms and conditions to which they must adhere? Given that children are involved, child protection is...

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (6 Mar 2019) Anne Rabbitte: It is important for people to understand that because a lot of questions have been asked in recent days. I must compliment the access and inclusion model, AIM, preschool programme and the wonderful work involved. What way will that programme be developed going forward? Will best practice relating to it be shared with the Department of Education and Skills, for example, in order that the...

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (6 Mar 2019) Anne Rabbitte: Yes. Is there a conversation taking place on that? We are all very interested in early intervention, which works incredibly well. As Deputy Sherlock stated, when we find something that really works, that benefits children and that enables them to make the progress they need to make, it seems a shame that it would stop when they reach six. Is there a way of continuing that? Perhaps it is...

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (6 Mar 2019) Anne Rabbitte: We should aspire to a situation where the needs assessment is done prior to the child entering the formal education system. The requirement for a needs assessment should be identified before the child leaves the ECCE or preschool setting-----

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (6 Mar 2019) Anne Rabbitte: As part of that, is capital funding an issue for some preschool providers who might not have had the space to provide the second ECCE year following the welcome extension of the programme? Has that played a role? I am not suggesting it is a significant role but in certain geographic locations, it has played a part.

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (6 Mar 2019) Anne Rabbitte: Funding for the programme for peace and reconciliation has increased substantially. Any increase is always welcome. Is there a plan associated with the increase, particularly in light of everything that is going on at the moment? On the previous occasion she appeared before the committee we discussed what she did in Croke Park and what was done in Newry. Are there planned events under...

Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (6 Mar 2019) Anne Rabbitte: Many reviews are under way, with a view to the production of reports. That costs a lot of money. Given the number of reports produced, one wonders how much of their recommendations get adopted and used. This is only a comment and not a criticism. We spend a lot of money on reports and so on and, at the same time, €1.5 million will be allocated to family resource centres. Money is...
