Question 174: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the future of six community based youth projects in Donegal comprising of approximately 4,000 young people and up to 1,000 adult volunteers, is at serious risk due to the lack of mainstream funding; and the timeframe for the roll-out of the Youth Act 2001 in Donegal and the other Border counties.

The Youth Act 2001 is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Education and Science. Clarification was sought from the Deputy's office and I understand that the various projects referred to in the question have been in receipt of funding from a number of different organisations/bodies including the Health Service Executive. As such my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy in respect of the funding supplied by the HSE.
