Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Dormant Accounts Fund

9:00 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

It is not a feature generally. It is not a requirement in the administration of the scheme. For example, Social Innovation Fund Ireland was established as a vehicle to try to encourage philanthropy. The commitment from Government was that it would 50:50 match philanthropic donations that Social Innovation Fund Ireland was in a position to generate. In that case, a 50:50 commitment is required and that has been a constraint.
