The St John Bosco Youth Centre project "New Options, New Choices" is administered by the City of Dublin Youth Service Board (CDYSB). This project is funded under the Young People's Facilities Fund by the Youth Affairs Section of my Department. I understand that the project also receives some funding from FÁS.

The final funding allocation for this project for 2006 from my Department is the subject of ongoing contacts between my Department and the CDYSB.
