Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 May 2021
582. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the non-governmental organisations in receipt of funding from his Department; the amount of funding allocated to same in 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24368/21]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that a large number of organisations funded by my Department may be classified as non-governmental organisations (NGOs). In the absence of a formal definition of NGO, my officials are preparing a response which takes account of community-based/voluntary bodies with charitable tax status funded by this Department in 2020 and in the current year.
Information sought by the Deputy is currently being collated and the response will issue as soon as possible.
