Family Resource Centres
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-02
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

How soon will this application be available so communities will be able to apply? Who will be entitled to make an application? Where will it come from? Will it be local authorities or local community groups? Who will be qualified to apply for inclusion in the new programme to expand the network?
If a family resource centre is in trouble financially during the year and has to cut back on services, is there a mechanism whereby it can get extra funding from the Department or Tusla to keep going? Is there any mechanism to draw down emergency funding or is this something the Minister would consider?
