Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has had no requests from Philanthropy Ireland to meet in 2011, 2012, 2013. Since 2011, along with a number of other Government Departments, my Department has been represented on the Forum on Philanthropy and Fundraising. Philanthropy Ireland is also a member of the Forum. There have been no meetings between my Department and Philanthropy Ireland apart from attendance at Forum meetings.
