Funding to support programmes for schools is the responsibility of the Minister for Education and Youth. Separately, and as part of its public health remit, the HSE provides funding to a number of organizations that offer digital support services, including online safety supports. As these are operational matters I have referred the question to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
