Approved capital funding of €100,000 for two
new youth cafés in Omeath and Drogheda has been announced today. In
total, €1.5million has been allocated in capital funding for the
provision of 30 new youth cafés around the country. This additional
funding brings the total investment for new youth cafés to €2.2million
since 2011.
I am delighted that that Omeath District
Development Company and Drogheda Boomerang Youth Café have been
allocated funding for the provision of new youth cafes. Youth cafés are
important spaces for the young people and parents in our communities as
they offer a safe environment that parents can trust and a place for
young people to socialise.
These local youth cafes offer not only a
social dimension but they also offer unique opportunities for different
groups and organisations to engage with local young people on issues
affecting them.
I would like to welcome the announcement of
funding allocated to Omeath District Development Company and Drogheda
Boomerang Youth Café and congratulate the members on a successful
application.
