Minister for Justice and Equality

The Deputy will be aware that my Department does not fund services for people with disabilities.

I understand that the organisation in question previously received funding of in excess of €190,000 in 2018, and €60,000 in 2019, from the Health Service Executive and the Department of the Taoiseach, respectively.
