View answerThis year, my Department is paying grants of €500,000 to the National Women's Council and €1,405,239 to the National Collective of Community Based Women's Networks. These amounts are set annually.
The following table gives details of the other funding administered by my Department in the areas mentioned in the question. These grants were awarded following calls for applications. I envisage that funding in each area will continue into the future with new calls taking place as appropriate.
