Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

I understand that the Deputy has clarified that the reference in his question to "State aid" of voluntary groups and charities in County Galway, relates to Health Service Executive funding of such organisations. As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
