Question 138: To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs if funding was given by his Department or the Government for the use of a property (details supplied) or if funding was given towards the upkeep of this property or for religious or cultural events at the location or any event to do with Irish people at that location.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has not provided any funding for the upkeep of the property to which the Deputy refers, or for any religious or cultural events at the location. I understand, however, that Culture Ireland may have sponsored a 9/11 memorial concert in this location. Should the Deputy wish to furnish further details of any other event or project which he believes may have received official Irish funding, officials from my Department will be happy to check the position out.
