The role of the City of Dublin Youth Service Board (CDYSB) is to support the provision, co-ordination, administration and assessment of youth services in their functional area and to provide such information as may be required by myself as Minister for Children and Youth Affairs.

As the Deputy is aware the CDYSB is a committee of the City of Dublin Education and Training Board.

As such, any organisational concerns in relation to the committee fall under the remit of the Department of Education and Skills and my colleague Minister McHugh.

I understand that my colleague Minister McHugh has informed you that he would be happy to facilitate a meeting with the Department of Education and Skills, my Department and yourself, in relation to youth services. 

While I am happy to discuss the value of youth services and youth work, I must stress that any review of CDYSB would be in the domain of the CEO of CDETB, which falls under the remit of the Department of Education and Skills.

The Department of Education and Skills has provided details of the organisational structure of CDYSB, which is set out below in tabular form. My officials have been advised that there was an error in the organisation chart provided to you on the 8th May and so an amended one is being given to you today.
