191. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide details of each allocation from his Department’s expenditure budget to registered charities in each of the past three years. [2097/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe funding of registered charities is not a direct function of my Department. However there are a number of bodies that engage in research or support social and community initiatives in areas such as e-inclusion which have qualified for charitable tax exemption under Section 207, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 and such organisations have provided services or carried out research work for my Department, for which they have been remunerated.
