Since 2007 my Department has provided annual funding to the members of the Community & Voluntary pillar of the Social Partnership process. This funding has been awarded to support costs directly related to the organisations' contribution to policy-making in the social partnership process that is not funded from any other sources. The following table details the funding provided to the members of the Community & Voluntary pillar from 2007 to 2010.
