As the Deputy will be aware my Department does not operate a specific scheme or programme to support youth cafes. My Department does, however, operate a number of programmes and schemes and it may be possible to secure from these an element of funding towards the start up costs and running costs for community groups to establish youth cafes in their community. Details of all the programmes and schemes operated by my Department can be accessed on the Department's website at www.pobail.ie. I should point out that each of the schemes and programmes operated by my Department are governed by rules and eligibility criteria that applicants must meet in order to receive funding from the Department.
