I wish to refer the Deputy to my answer to question number 444 of 20 June, 2006 which cited some of the areas where my Department has made substantial funding available to areas of Irish life in which non-governmental organisations operate. In light of the very broad range of areas in question and the large number of bodies involved, the detailed information sought by the Deputy is not readily available and could only be obtained by the application of a disproportionate amount of staff time and resources.
