Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 July 2016
328. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the State funding provided by his Department and agencies under its remit, including to local authorities to non-profit or non-governmental organisations for each year from 2008 to 2015. [22038/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has a wide and diverse business agenda, including providing necessary housing supports and fostering community development in partnership with local government and other local development bodies. In order to deliver on this broad business agenda, my Department allocates significant resources to a wide range of organisations, including local authorities, dedicated agencies and non-statutory bodies, as well as to individuals.
The information requested, relating to payments over an eight year period, 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, I will endeavour to provide the information sought.
