€80,000 has been announced for operating costs for Drumlin House in Cootehill.
Drumlin House training centre provides rehabilitative training and day services for adults with an intellectual disability, some of whom have autism, physical and sensory disabilities, and complex needs.
The service has been one of the main providers of places for school leavers in the past 20 years.
According to the Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality and Disability Deputy Anne Rabbitte, the facility is providing support for 95 day service users.
The Minister added that over the next five years, we are going to see that increase by about another 50 day service users needing access to it.
Demographic trends indicate that since 2016, the number of school leavers who require a HSE day service has doubled in Cavan and Monaghan.
Senator Robbie Gallagher raised the issue with the Minister in the Seanad and has welcomed the funding announcement.
