As the Deputy may be aware, my Department does not operate a scheme or programme that specifically provides support for out-of-school services and/or after-school services in the context of disadvantage. However, under the Local Development Social Inclusion Programme (LDSIP) and the Young People's Facilities and Services Fund (YPFSF), some funding may be made available by local groups to support an element of the services that the Deputy refers to. Details in relation to the LDSIP and the YPFSF and all the programmes and schemes operated by my Department can be accessed on the Department's website at www.pobail.ie.
