Information about the total amount of State funding, from all sources, that may have been provided to the Attic Youth Café, is not available to my Department.

I can confirm to the Deputy, that an amount of €10,000 has been provided to the Attic Youth Cafe, Longford, under my Department's National Lottery Grant Scheme 2013. My Department’s records show that, prior to the establishment of my Department, a grant of €8,000, was provided, under the youth funding schemes, by the then Department of Education and Science, in 2010.
