Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, administers the Family Resource Centre programme which provides funding to 121 centres across the country.

My Department allocates core funding for the Family Resource Centre programme which has amounted to some €18m in 2022. Therefore, the estimated cost to increase funding by 20% for the Family Resource Centre programme would be approximately €3.6m.

Various family resource centres may avail of other programmes and have other financial supports from elsewhere.
