232. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if he will provide details of all payments by all Government Departments and agencies to organisations that are members of the Environmental Pillar in 2021 and 2022; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19610/23]
View answerMy Department made one payment to one of the organisations that is a member of the Environmental Pillar during the period specified. My Department made a payment of €400 to VOICE (Voice of Irish Concern for the Environment) for their services in respect of a recycling workshop held in 2021.
With the exception of the Office of Public Works (OPW), no payments have been made by the bodies under the aegis of my Department to the organisations in question during the period specified. I have been advised by the OPW that they will respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
My Department does not hold information in respect of payments by other Government Departments and bodies under their aegis to the organisations in question. The Deputy may wish to submit separate questions to the relevant Ministers in this regard.
