The Dormant Accounts Fund Action Plans contain a number of specific measures intended to support children and disadvantaged young people for which my Department has primary responsibility. A resource allocation of €5.166 million has been made available in 2017 to my Department to support a number of ongoing projects and programmes and relevant details are set out in the following table for the Deputy's information.
