The centre referred to by the Deputy is funded under my Department's scheme to strengthen and support volunteering. In 2010 the centre received funding of €122,957.

As the Deputy is aware, the Government is currently engaged in preparing the Estimates for 2011 in the context of the forthcoming Budget. While at this stage I cannot give a commitment to any individual organisation, I will be endeavouring to make the best possible use of the resources available, taking account of the need to prioritise frontline services and ensure value for money.
