The Family Resource Centre Programme is administered by Tusla, the Child and Family Agency. At present there are 109 Family Resource Centres in operation throughout the country, and 11 additional centres will become operational by the end of 2018.

As the cost of establishing new Family Resource Centres and the estimated full year running costs of such centres, under the Family Resource Centre Programme, are a matter for Tusla, I have requested Tusla to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
