There are almost 6,000 Youthreach places available nationwide funded by my Department through SOLAS. The number of places has remained at its current level since 2007. Almost 3,700 of these places are provided in just over 100 Youthreach centres operated by Education and Training Boards (ETBs). The remainder are provided in some 30 Community Training Centres that are currently being transferred from SOLAS to ETBs.
