The organisation referred to by the Deputy is funded under my Department's Scheme to Support National Organisations in the Community and Voluntary Sector and has been allocated funding of €80,352 in 2010.

Contracts with the various organisations which are being funded under this Scheme are due to expire on 31 December 2010. Officials in my Department are currently carrying out a review to evaluate the Scheme and its operations and I hope that this process will be completed by the autumn. On the basis of the findings of the review, I will consider the options available to me regarding the future of the Scheme.

All organisations involved in the Scheme, including the one referred to by the Deputy, are being consulted as part of the review process.
