Question:

66 Deputy Pat Rabbitte asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the grants made to the various organisations in the Irish language voluntary sector in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and to date in 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47046/09]

Written answers

Funding is provided directly by my Department to various organisations in the Irish language voluntary sector under Ciste na Gaeilge and certain Gaeltacht schemes. Funding is also provided by Foras na Gaeilge. The details of the funding provided in the years in question under these various measures are set out in the following Table.

At its meeting in Language Format on 14 December, the North South Ministerial Council welcomed the fact that Foras na Gaeilge had completed a review of the 19 organisations core-funded by it, noted the findings of the review and the options proposed, and agreed that core-funding of the Irish language voluntary sector by Foras na Gaeilge be reconfigured to ensure a more streamlined and cost effective way to move forward while ensuring that proper governance arrangements are in place. I am confident that the outcome of this review will lead to a more effective, integrated and dynamic Irish language voluntary sector. For the sake of completeness, the Deputy should note that it is also open to voluntary Irish language organisations to apply for assistance under other grant schemes operated by my Department to provide support for organisations in the community and voluntary sector.
