Social Democrats
- Increase funding for Family Resource Centres to allow for the optimum core funding levels identified.
Yes Soc Dems. Don’t forget the other stretched streams like Counselling but I’ll take it!
- Make multi-annual
government funding the
default model for the C&V sector.
Nice pt
Sinn Fein
- Increasing funding for family resource centres, men's sheds, community centres, public participation networks and the community services programme
Straight to the point but non-specific. I’ll take it though. Would also welcome increase in CSP (for us that’s meals on wheels).
Labour
- FRCs and Staffing: Labour will increase the minimum core funding for Family Resource Centres, support them in securing their own premises, and enhance the counselling and therapeutic supports they provide.
Now this I can get behind. Fair play Labour for recognising basic needs of FRCs
Green Party
- No specific mention.
Wounded. Very disappointing for a party whose leader has responsibility for the FRC Prog. Though am I surprised considering not a cent was provided in the budget for FRCs?
As a caveat O’Gorman has done more for Early Years than and other Minister before him.
Fianna Fáil-No specific mention.
Very disappointing for the Party who originally created the programme and wrote it into legislation as a grass roots movement to combat child poverty. Side note - Fine Gael removed from legislation and administratively placed under Tusla in 2015).
Fine Gael- Expand FRCs: We will increase the number of Family Resource Centres, while exploring ways to better support non-profit and social enterprise organisations.
Meh. At least we were mentioned as being useful enough to replicate. No mention of targeted funding for existing FRCs.
Dept of Children spotlights Family Resource Centres as their leading child and family prevention and early intervention programme. There are 121 FRCs nationally and 4 located in LK City & Co. So where do we sit in #ge2024 manifestos???
We’re up to 46 people on the #Limerick Starter pack, share to find more and let me know if you’d like to be added go.bsky.app/CDxubvL
