Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 October 2025
322. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality the amount that will go specifically towards family resource centres; the rationale for this decision; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [56127/25]
View answerI am very pleased that the Department secured additional funding of €3.2 million for the Family Resource Centre Programme as part of Budget 2026.
The funding secured as part of Budget 2026 will allow for the addition of ten new centres to the Family Resource Centre Programme. This will bring the number nationwide to 136. Budget 2026 will also allow us to continue to support the work of our existing Family Resource Centres, who do excellent work across the whole country.
