Written answers

In recent years I have made ex gratia funding available to a number of bodies involved in the delivery of animal care and welfare services throughout the country, having regard to the resources available to me from within the Department’s Vote at year end. In December 2003, grants totalling €850,000 were awarded to 80 organisations. The organisations concerned had approached the Department seeking assistance. A grant of €15,000 was paid to the Cats Protection Association of Ireland in December 2003 to assist it in its activities in 2004.
