Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 January 2023
524. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the funding stream for the targeted youth employability support initiative in Ballyfermot; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4159/23]
View answerThe Targeted Youth Employability Support Initiative 2021 to 2022 was funded by my Department from the Dormant Accounts Funds.
The aim of the Initiative was to provide short-focused interventions to support young people to improve their confidence and encourage them to engage in a wide range of progressive routes to further education, training and employment.
A review of the Initiative will be carried out in accordance with the principles outlined in the Dormant Accounts Fund Principles. My Department will consult with the ETBs who administered the Initiative, and the young people who took part in it, when carrying out the evaluation.
