Terence Flanagan

Question:

380. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide a list of community groups/organisations currently in receipt of funding from his Department; if such organisations are subject to a service level agreement containing a clause prohibiting the use of funding to change law or Government policies, or prohibiting the use of funding to persuade persons to adopt a view on law or public policy; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

Funding is provided to a large number of community groups under a range of schemes administered by my Department. Compilation of the information requested would require a disproportionate amount of time and effort. However, if the Deputy wishes to request information on a more specific basis, for example in respect of groups active in the Community, environment or housing areas, I will endeavour to respond as quickly as possible.
