View answerThe Deputy might note that there are four statutory agencies currently under the operational remit of my Department that are funded by the Exchequer and these include the Adoption Authority of Ireland, the Family Support Agency, the National Educational Welfare Board and the Office of the Ombudsman for Children. There are no quasi autonomous non-governmental organisations in receipt of funds from my Department.
