Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 May 2023
212. Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development if she will provide in detail the funding amounts that are allocated to various organisations (details supplied) and other charity groups working directly in suicide care in Ireland; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26507/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails regarding funding supplied by my Department to the organisations referred to by the Deputy and other charity groups working directly in suicide care in Ireland are set out below. Funding may be provided to these organisations by other Government Departments and this information is not included in this response.
Funding of €4,150 was provided by my Department to the Samaritans through the Community and Voluntary Energy Support Scheme (CVESS) . This scheme provided for a once-off payment to eligible charities and community and voluntary sector organisations to help them meet their demonstrated increased energy costs for 2022. The scheme is now closed.
Funding was also provided through the COVID-19 Stability Fund for community and voluntary organisations, charities and social enterprises. This fund provided support to qualifying organisations who found themselves in particular difficulty and projected their trading and/or fundraising income would drop significantly during the crisis due to the social restrictions introduced to counter the spread of COVID19. The Stability Fund is now closed. Details of this funding provided to the type of organisations referred to by the Deputy are provided below.
