Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 December 2013
213. Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Education and Skills the amount of funding that his Department gives to Irish charities; the name of each organisation that receives funding; the amount of funding each organisation receives; the number that are open and transparent regarding salaries; and the steps he is taking to deal with non-disclosures. [53549/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails regarding payments from my Department in 2012 and up to 30 November 2013, to bodies that have been granted charitable tax exemption under Section 207 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, are set out in the following table. Excluded from this list are payments made to schools, teacher education bodies or bodies representing groups of educational institutions. Cases where the amount of payment made in both years is less than €5,000 are also excluded. In a number of cases bodies receiving funding from this Department would also be in receipt of funding from other Government Departments and bodies. Full details regarding reporting and accounting arrangements in respect of each of the charitable bodies listed are currently not available centrally. In general, however, such bodies in receipt of funding from my Department under various educational-related programmes are required in the first instance to satisfy the Department that they meet the qualifying conditions governing the operation of these programmes. They are also required to account clearly for the receipt and expenditure of Departmental funding in their annual reporting processes. Bodies in receipt of Departmental funding would also be subject to periodic review in respect of this funding. My Department does not collate centrally details of payments to charities made by bodies who themselves are in receipt of funding from the Department. Assembling this information would require significant administrative resources. However, should the Deputy have a specific interest in a particular body in this regard, my officials will request the relevant organisation to supply details insofar as is possible.
