QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Chief Executive if Comhairle na nÓg have been invited to make a submission for the 2019 Budget as agreed during their last presentation to a full Council meeting, and if not, are there any plans to invite them at this late stage to make a written submission?

REPLY:

Funding for Comhairle na nÓg is currently provided by Pobal and supports the following activities:

• Comhairle na nÓg core activities;
• Enhancing and managing the Comhairle na nÓg Steering Committee;
• Hosting the Annual General Meeting;
• Promotional / awareness work;
• Adresssing the priorities of the Comhairle;
• Staffing (Crosscare and Foróige);
• Administration and other miscellaneous costs;

This is supplemented by the Council assigning a Community Officer to support and facilitate the project.

It is not proposed to invite Comhairle na nÓg to make a submission in advance of the 2019 Budget given the support outlined and provided for above.
