My Department does not collate the information requested by the Deputy.

Funding provided by my Department to the Education and Training Boards does not directly fund youth worker posts or salaries; rather, it is allocated on a 'provision of service' basis to meet the needs of the youth population in an area. The recruitment and employment of staff including youth workers is a matter for the youth organisations and services in receipt of funding.
