I propose to take Questions Nos. 132 and 133 together.

It is not clear from the questions what supports are being referred to and responsibility for dealing with supports for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people is likely to fall to a number of Departments. Within my Department, the Youth Affairs Unit of my Department funds BeLonGTo, a voluntary organisation working with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people. In 2012 the funding allocated to BeLonGTo is €98,437.
