Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 November 2012
154. Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide an update in tabular form, of the grants from his Department payable in the year 2012 to non Governmental agencies based here or abroad; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49328/12]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy is not centrally collated and would involve a very significant amount of administrative time to compile. However, details of public funding disbursements are made available in a range of publications on an annual basis. The Revised Estimates Volume, published annually by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, contains a significant level of detail, on a Vote by Vote basis, regarding funding allocations in the year of publication, together with details of funding disbursed by the Exchequer in the previous year. The Comptroller and Auditor General also publishes the Appropriation Accounts, which are the annual accounts of Government Departments. Additionally on an annual basis, my Department posts on its website details of organisations that are part-funded from the National Lottery. In this regard details for 2010 and 2011 are provided in tabular form at the end of this reply. If there is a specific body in which the Deputy has a particular interest my officials will request the relevant organisation to supply the relevant details insofar as is possible.
