I propose to take Questions Nos. 446 and 447 together.
The Revised Estimates for Public Services published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform each year set out in tabular form detailed information on Non-Commercial State Agencies under the aegis of each Department. These Agency Statements include information on income from exchequer and non-exchequer sources, on expenditure for pay, non-pay and programmes purposes and on the number of employees in each agency.
Each year my Department makes a large volume of payments to a wide range of organisations, including non-governmental organisations, and individuals. The information requested, in relation to an extensive number of payments, is not readily available in my Department and its compilation would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work. If the Deputy wishes to put down a more specific question in the area of funding from my Department, or to communicate separately with me, I will endeavour to provide the information sought.
