I propose to take Questions Nos. 687 and 688 together.
It has not been possible to collate the information requested by the Deputy within the time allowed. I will write to the Deputy to provide this information as soon as it is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Questions No. 687 & 688 to my Department, which were for answer on 18 May 2021, and in which you requested the funding allocated to each NGO and charity in each of the years 2010 to 2020 by my Department and if a record will be provided of the annual funding received by the NGO and charity sector from my Department in each of the years 2000 to 2020.
As you will recall, the information you requested could not be obtained in the time available and I undertook to contact you again. Please find a response provided below for your consideration.
My Department engages with a diverse range of stakeholders, including community & voluntary organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and charities on an ongoing basis and allocates significant resources in this area.
As the current financial system in my Department was implemented in mid-2004, the earliest transactions available are from June 2004. Therefore, I have provided partial data for 2004. Complete information is available from 2005 onwards. A detailed breakdown of allocations by organisation and year in tabular format is attached.
The Deputy may wish to note that as it was difficult to determine a means of identifying ‘NGO/Charity’ based vendors, a search for expenditure under the ‘Grant’ subhead item type of expenditure was carried out across the entire Justice Vote. On that basis I am providing an indicative list of NGOs, community and voluntary organisations and charities who received funding from the Department in the period outlined.
If the Deputy wishes to submit a further more specific question in relation to the funding of a particular NGO, I will endeavour to provide the information requested.
Question No. 688 answered with Question No. 687.
