The Minister for the Diaspora Jimmy Deenihan made the announcement this morning.
The grant aid will allow the service to set up a pilot programme with the three main Irish centres in New York – the Aisling Center, the New York Irish Center and the Emerald Isle Immigration Center – to establish a 'Pieta Room' as the main point of referral for Irish people in crisis.
The allocation will also support the training of counsellors and counselling services.
