My Department, through the Probation Service, provides funding to over 50 voluntary bodies to assist with the management of adult offenders in the community and to add value to the core work of the Probation Service. The PACE organisation is one such facility which provides training and accommodation services for ex-offenders. In 2008, my Department through the Probation Service provided €1.5m to PACE.

I can confirm that my Department has not received any application from PACE for additional funds for the development of the premises the subject of this Parliamentary Question.
