I have secured an additional €5 million in current funding for youth services nationally as part of Budget 2021.  This additional funding will be allocated to youth services in the coming year to support the delivery of universal and targeted youth services nationwide. My officials are currently working on the apportionment of these funds in the context of the publication of the Revised Estimates Volume. As such, I am not in a position as yet to provide a detailed breakdown of these allocations.
