The work of this Department is funded through two Votes: Vote 28 (Foreign Affairs) and Vote 29 (International Cooperation). With regard to Vote 28, total funding of €21,217,604 was disbursed to non-governmental agencies or organisations between 2004 and 2006.
In percentage terms, this represents 3.91% and 4.99% of the total gross budget for Vote 28 in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Funding was provided to a range of non-governmental organisations or agencies under several programmes or initiatives — (1) the Department's Reconciliation Fund; (2) support for Irish emigrants abroad; (3) raising awareness of EU issues; (4) assistance given to human rights NGOs and to the Irish United Nations Association; (5) projects or actions that support Ireland's objectives under the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU; and (6) support for the Irish Cultural Centre, Paris. Details of the funding provided for each of the years 2004, 2005 and 2006 to date are outlined in the following Annexes 1-6. I hope the Deputy will appreciate that, given the depth and breadth of applications received, it is not possible to provide detailed information on the number of applications received and refused across all of the programmes mentioned above. However, all successful applicants were selected for support on the basis of their meeting the prescribed criteria of the specific programme or funding in question.
Under Vote 29, Irish Aid, the government's official aid programme, funds a wide array of non governmental, civil society organisations, Irish and non-Irish, including missionaries in their development work. This work includes provision of basic needs, emergency assistance and the promotion of human rights and governance. The annual report for the aid programme in 2004 includes a full list of all organisations funded and the amounts involved. In 2004, NGO and civil society funding amounted to €89.9 million or approximately 23% of the aid funding under the control of my Department.
The Irish Aid annual report for 2005 will be published in due course and will include the full list of funded organisations. It is estimated that €117million, 24.9% of the aid funding under the control of Irish Aid, was expended on NGOs in that year. In 2006 to date approximately €94 million has been expended through NGOs. I have arranged for Irish Aid's 2004 Annual Report to be forwarded to the Deputy, as well as the 2005 Annual Report, when published.
