Berni Brady, Director of AONTAS, said: "We welcome today's announcement and look forward to the provision of the additional 600 Youthreach places promised by the government in Towards 2016.
"The Youthreach programme, along with initiatives like the BTEI, gives early school-leavers a second chance at education. It allows them to learn in a friendly space and to increase their confidence and their skills.
"We hope the government will continue to invest in this worthwhile programme and to ensure that all adults in Ireland have the supports they need to engage in lifelong learning."
