Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2015
1085. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide the details of the funding under the scheme to support national organisations that has been granted for the coming year; the exact figures and organisations this will cover; if a more permanent arrangement has been put in place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22352/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe funding Scheme to Support National Organisations (SSNO) in the community and voluntary sector aims to provide multi-annual funding to national organisations towards core costs associated with the provision of services. Applications for a new round of funding, which commenced on 1 July 2014, were subject to an appraisal process. 55 applications were approved for funding for the two-year period from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2016.
It is envisaged that the new Scheme to Support National Organisations will be advertised in early 2016 and all groups will be required to apply for funding under the Scheme and meet the criteria required for funding.
The table outlines the allocation to each organisation.

On 18 July 2014, it was announced that bridging funding of €1.4million would be allocated for a twelve month period to a number of previously funded health, disability and other organisations that were not approved for funding under the new scheme, pending the carrying out of a review of the public funding of national organisations in the health and disability sector.
On 25 May 2015, I announced that funding will be provided from 1 July this year to 30 June 2016 to a number of health, disability and other organisations. Following a review in relation to the impact of the cessation of their current funding on 30 June 2015.
Funding of €1.32 million is being made available for this 12 month period to organisations, currently funded under a bridging scheme which was put in place to support the majority of organisations who were unsuccessful in their applications under the Scheme to Support National Organisations (SSNO) but had received funding previously from it up to 30 June 2014 and submitted a valid application in 2014. This further support will be based on current levels of funding to the organisations in question and is being provided through a Developmental Scheme to Support National Organisations. The funding to be provided to each organisation is set out in the table below.
It is envisaged that the new Scheme to Support National Organisations will be advertised in early 2016 and all groups will be required to apply for funding under the Scheme and meet the criteria required for funding.
