The young person referred to by the Deputy is not currently known to Tusla Education Support Service and is not an open case with the Educational Welfare Service (EWS) of TESS. The local Educational Welfare Officer (EWO) team is available to assist the family and the Senior EWO can be contacted at the details set out below. A young person with no school place is an immediate priority for the Educational Welfare Service team.

Contact details for EWO; Tel: 01-5252166, ewsregion2@tusla.ie

Matters in relation to the Youthreach Programme is for my colleague the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research and Science to answer.
