New Youth Diversion Projects for Tipperary and Clare have been announced.
New projects will achieve Government ambition of nationwide access to YDP services for every young person who needs it.
Foróige chosen to operate new YDPs in East Clare and North Tipperary.
Two new successful applications have been chosen in North Tipperary and East Clare. Following an open application and appraisal process, Foróige have been chosen to operate both projects.
The announcement of the new YDPs will achieve the target as set out in the Youth Justice Strategy of full national coverage of YDPs, ensuring that a service is available to every young person who needs it. There are currently 100 YDPs throughout the State, including four new projects which were established in 2023, which are now up and running.
Youth Diversion Projects (YDPs) work with young people at risk of crime and anti-social behaviour to divert them away from criminal behaviour and towards better life outcomes. Funding for YDPs and other Youth Justice measures have increased substantially in recent years, from €18 million in 2020, to a total allocation of just over €33 million in Budget 2025.
The two new YDPs will be part of a wider Joint Commissioning initiative to trial a new collaborative approach to commissioning of relevant services in six pilot areas based on an agreed assessment of the needs of local young people. This approach aims to enhance communication and collaboration between agencies based on principles of the best interest of children and young people.
Youth Diversion Projects are co-funded by the Irish Taxpayers and the European Social Fund, as part of the ESF+ Programme 2021-2027.

Someone To Remember Me.
I hope you see as you look down, All of this love gathered around, I hope you hear what people say, I hope you know the role you play. You were my rock, you were my shield, This space you leave, no one can fill, You held the room, you cast a spell, You’ll always be remembered well. And when my days have come and gone, I hope I leave more right than wrong. I want to feel this love I see, When I am gone, I hope there’ll be someone to remember me. Though you’re not here, not here with me, A part of you will always be. I’ll hear your laughter, I’ll see the smile, I’ll feel you near once in a while. And when my days have come and gone, I hope I leave more right than wrong, I want to feel this love I see, When I am gone, I hope there’ll be someone to remember me. And when the days have come and gone, I hope I’ll leave more right than wrong. I want to feel this love I see, When I am gone, I hope there’ll be someone to remember, Someone to remember me. Someone to remember me.
