I can inform the Deputy that my Department has not provided direct funding to the named organisation, Youth Advocacy Programme (YAP) Ireland, in the years specified by the Deputy.

However, Tusla, the Child and Family Agency has an annual Service Level Agreement in place with the organisation.  As the matters to which the Deputy refers are operational, I have requested Tusla to respond to the Deputy directly.
