I propose to take Questions Nos. 673 and 674 together.

The Department of Social Protection (DSP) has provided circa €3.1 million in 2020 to the Family Resource Centres through the following schemes: Community Employment (CE), Rural Social Scheme (RSS) and TÚS. The following is a breakdown by scheme for 2020.

Family Resource Centre - 2020

Scheme Payment Value
CE €1,787,221.80
TÚS € 923,074.51
RSS € 384,505.31
TOTAL €3,094,801.62

Payment data in relation to 2015 to 2019 for Family Resource Centres and the County Cork centres which fall under the remit of DSP are currently being collated and will be provided directly to the Deputy when available.
