I understand that the KDYS project in Killorglin is a family support programme run in partnership with Tusla. It is not funded by my Department in respect of youth services.

The below table sets out funding allocated by my Department via Kerry Education and Training Board for KDYS for youth service provision.

Funded Organisation 2020 Funding Allocation
KDYS Castleisland €83,570
KDYS Killarney €62,384
KDYS Listowel €91,098
KDYS Tralee €190,906
KDYS Youth Information Centre €115,677
Total Funding to Youth Services €543,635

I am happy to make inquiries on behalf of the Deputy in respect of the particular project to which he refers.
