I can inform the Deputy that it is hoped that the successful applicants for inclusion in the Family Resource Centre Programme will be announced shortly.
As the Deputy may know, applications for FRC Programme membership were open from 1st May to 30th May 2025. Funding secured as part of Budget 2025 will allow for membership of the Programme to increase from 121 members to 126 members in 2025, in line with a Government commitment to expand the Programme. Tusla, as the body responsible for the day-to-day administration of the FRC Programme, is managing the selection process for the additional FRCs.
