From the information provided, this project would appear to fall under the ambit of the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Innovation and Youth and in particular the targeted youth scheme 'Your Place Your Space' (UBU).

I understand that 'Your Place Your Space' provides out of school supports to young people. These supports offer a wide range of quality activities, which are mainly community-based. By providing this place and space, UBU aims to enable all young realise their maximum potential.

I note that the City of Dublin Education and Training Board has a role in the delivery of the targeted youth scheme.

It is recommended that you contact the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Innovation and Youth for further information on how to access UBU funding.

The Department of Health has an agreement with CDYSB to ensure that an efficient and effective structure is in place to facilitate the management and monitoring of the activities, expenditure and general governance of interim funded community based drugs initiatives through the drug and alcohol task forces, for which CDYSB acts as a channel of funding for the Department of Health.
