Resumo: The Centre directly provides youth services to over 650+ young people ranging in age from 7 to 25. Programmes are delivered in age appropriate settings with groups for the following: Junior Clubs 7-9 years; Junior Clubs 10-12 years; Post Primary 12-18; Drama Groups 7-12; Drama Groups 12 Upwards; Summer Camps are divided along the same lines. A recent audit shows that on average 1100 individuals pass through the Centre on a weekly basis. This number does not include audiences and or visitors but is made up entirely of people attending the different programmes and activities organised by and in the Centre.  The Centre caters for the complete development of each member providing in its program for the physical; mental and social development of the young person. This is achieved by a balanced program which includes such activities as: Sports (Basketball; Soccer; Badminton; Table Tennis; Volleyball; Uni-Hoc; Pool etc) Music and Drama (Annual Musical production this year our 37th production, Battle of the Bands; Film Nights; exposure to drama pieces) Trips to places of interest (Outside musical/drama productions; places of culture and learning; places of interest and leisure activities) Quizzes; Debates; partaking in community activities like Patrick’s day Parade; People in Need Telethon; visiting the elderly and providing musical entertainment in the homes for the aged. Over the years the Centre has become a focal point for other groups in the community making its facilities available for activities as wide ranging as meditation classes to karate classes. Also availing of the excellent facilities available in the Centre are the following: this year we will be establishing a drop in facility for 12-20 year olds . the project will include the provision of rehearsal space for young bands, a hub for meeting, a kitchen area and tyhe extending of our games room.
