Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 November 2022
294. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice if she will provide a schedule by local authority, heading and amount of the funding and grants returned and or unspent in part or in full to her Department in 2019, 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022. [58599/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can inform the Deputy that no funding or grants were returned to my Department or unspent by any local authority in the time specified. The Deputy may wish to note that figures for 2022 are not available until end of year financial reports are completed.
As the Deputy may be aware, a number of functions in my Department were transferred to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth in October 2020. Therefore, it is important to note that responsibility for some funding provided by my Department, in particular relating to the integration and equality functions, transferred to that Department during 2020.
