Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 353 to 355, inclusive, together.

As I recently advised the House in my reply to  Dáil Question no. 303 of 11th May, while my Department provides funding to a wide range of sporting, cultural and community organisations, I am advised that funding is not provided to any non-governmental organisations. 

As the Deputy will appreciate, my Department is responsible for a wide range of  funding programmes.  Many of the beneficiaries of these programmes, for example sports clubs,  are eligible for charitable status.  Details of allocations under these programmes are announced from time to time and details of Department expenditure are published annually in the Department's Appropriation Account.

However, if the Deputy has a specific query in relation to funding provided to a particular group organisation, my officials will seek to assist him upon receipt of the relevant details.
