Question 337: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the amount of money that has been granted to a group (details supplied) since its establishment; the benefit to taxpayers of the group's work; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35034/07]

The organisation concerned is a statutory body, rather than a group as that term might ordinarily be understood in the context of my Department's funding schemes for community and voluntary organisations. Given the nature of the statutory body and the funding arrangements that apply to it, it is not possible for me to answer the Deputy's Question in any meaningful way, without revealing the identify of the organisation. The Deputy will appreciate that I am precluded by the conventions of the House from so doing in the context of replying to a 'details supplied' Question. I will, however, be glad to supply whatever information the Deputy requires in this case if he wishes to adopt an alternative approach to the matter.
