Question 101: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the number of approved Youthreach places in each operating centre in County Kildare in 2012; if he intends providing for additional Youthreach places; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14872/12]

In 2012, there are 85 Youthreach places approved for County Kildare VEC. There are 3 Youthreach centres: Athy (30 places), Leixlip (30 places) and Naas (25 places).

The overall number of approved Youthreach places is set at its current level because there is a continuing requirement to plan and control numbers and to manage expenditure within the overall educational policy and provision. Any consideration of providing additional Youthreach places would have to take account of the present and prospective economic and budgetary context and related financial constraints.
