FIANNA Fáil councillor Kenneth O’Flynn has welcomed the news that €1.5 million from dormant accounts funding is being made available by the Government to support both new and existing youth cafés throughout the country.
The majority of the funding will be awarded to the setting up of new youth cafés, with approximately 22 per cent of the funds going to the support of existing youth cafés that wish to improve or expand existing services or facilities.
Cllr O’Flynn said, “I welcome this news as a most positive step by central government in investing in young people and providing them with an alcohol and drug free, youth centred space”.
He also expressed his desire that Corkonians would in particular avail of funding to establish new youth cafés in Cork city, which he believes are key components in the fight against anti-social behaviour and in bolstering social inclusion.
