Under the terms of the Youth Work Act 2001, the national youth council of Ireland, NYCI, is the prescribed national representative youth work organisation and represents approximately 50 voluntary youth work organisations countrywide. The youth affairs section of my Department, through its youth service grant scheme, funds the NYCI on an annual grant-in-aid basis. This funding is a contribution towards the employment of core staff and administration costs.
With regard to the national forum on Europe's plans to hold further events or conferences with the national youth council of Ireland, the details of its programme of work are a matter for the forum which is independent in its operations.
