  203.  Mr. Andrews  Information on David Andrews  Zoom on David Andrews   asked the Minister for Education and Science  Information on Michael J. Woods  Zoom on Michael J. Woods   if Dún Laoghaire Youth Service will be mainstreamed for funding purposes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14369/01]

Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods): Information on Michael J. Woods  Zoom on Michael J. Woods  The youth affairs section of my Department provides grant-in-aid financial assistance for Dún Laoghaire Youth Service under the special projects for youth scheme and the young people's facilities and services fund. Dún Laoghaire VEC acts as the grant administering agency and funding in respect of special projects is sent directly to the VEC.

I understand that the Deputy is referring to [1046] youth services provided by a voluntary group, outside the Dún Laoghaire VEC provision. No formal application for grant assistance has been made to my Department by that group.
