Ms Marion Meany:

There are certainly small organisations that are not funded but the Deputy is right that quite a number are significantly funded. We have 50 organisations that get between €3 million and €170 million. We have a further 50 that get between €1 million and €3 million and another 30 that are below that. Within the disability arena alone we have a very significant number so energy has to be put into considering how we protect and reinvest in the front-line services rather than building structures in organisations. It is a valid point that it is a piece of work we have to examine.
