Question 385: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will list and number the pilot schemes or projects that are being funded, overseen, or in any way supported by his Department; the purpose of each project; the start-up date of each project; the timescale for each project; the projected completion date for each project; the date that a report evaluating the project will be completed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy will appreciate, given the extent of my Department's remit, the number of projects, pilot or otherwise, which are directly or indirectly funded by the Department and its associated agencies is quite considerable. These projects range from very modest schemes and activities which receive financial assistance from the Department or its agencies under various programmes up to major multi-annual IT and capital projects. It would represent a disproportionately expensive use of staff resources to collate all such possible funding instances into a single document. I can, however, inform the Deputy that if there is a specific project or category of funding which he is interested in, it might be more feasible to supply such information.
