My Department allocates funding under the youth service grant scheme on an overall national basis to youth work organisations. It is then a matter for each national organisation to allocate funding on a regional basis as it considers appropriate. Many of these organisations are active in Cork and include the YMCA, Macra na Feirme, EIL Intercultural Learning, Scouting Ireland and the Catholic Guides of Ireland. Ógra Chorcaí, a regional organisation based in Cork city, received €614,926 under the scheme in 2004.
