This day of action is to highlight the recent cuts in the budget to ours and other youth services...

Youth Projects in Dublin are under threat of further budget cuts.

Dublin Focus on Youth are calling on politicians and public officials to put a stop to these cuts


The Current Situation

• Youth Projects serve the needs of the most at risk young people across our city.

• A total of 33,790 young people participated in CDYSB funded youth projects in Dublin in 2008

• It costs €20 million per year keep these projects funded.

• This works out at less than €12 per young person per week

• Youth Projects and Services help young people achieve their potential and are essential to creating and maintaining healthy communities.

What we are looking for

• An immediate reversal of the 2009 cuts to Youthwork funding
• Funding for Youthwork projects and services to be maintained at 2008 levels for 2010 in order to maintain all frontline services to the most at risk young people in Dublin

A day of protest is organised on Wed 22nd January culminating in a gathering at Dail Eireann at 4pm.
There will also be 3 demonstrations in Bonnybrook, Darndale and Priorswood highlighting the pay cut issues so, keep an eye out for us around the areas on the day and show your support...
