214. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills to outline her plans for the provision of mainstream funding for the Bawnogue Youth and Community Centre, either directly by her Department or indirectly via the education and training board; and if either her Department or the board do not have such plans whether she will consider the provision of mainstream funding for this service.

The organisation referred to by the Deputy provides workspaces for a number of groups in the area, including Bawnogue Woman's Group, Clondalkin Youth Services, Teen Council, Mother and Toddler Group and other community services.
I understand that Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board provides a grant of €20,000 to the Bawnogue Youth and Community Centre, the funding for which is provided by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. I also understand that the Centre receives funding from the Department of Social Protection. My Department has not received an application for funding from Bawnogue Youth and Community Centre.
