I can inform the Deputy that the following information is a breakdown of funding by the ABC Programme showing each county as requested. ABC is a four year time bound prevention and early intervention initiative which is co-funded between my Department and The Atlantic Philanthropies for the period of 2013-2017:

With regard to the School Completion Programme, the allocation for each of the years concerned has been €24.76m. Operational responsibility for the programme transferred to Tusla on its establishment in 2014.

I have referred the question to Tusla for direct response to the Deputy in relation to the remaining elements.
