I propose to take Questions Nos. 245 and 246 together.
The Community Workers Cooperative (CWC) is a company limited by guarantee. It is governed by its own Board of Directors, and my Department does not have details of all Governmental or Non-governmental funding received by the CWC over the years.
The Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs operated a Funding Scheme to support Anti-Poverty Networks from 2004-2007. The CWC received funding of €143,065 in 2004 and €37,555 in 2005. Under the new Funding Scheme to Support National Organisations in the Community and Voluntary Sector 2008-2010 which was also operated by that Department, the CWC received funding of €169,440. Funding under this Scheme was extended to end of June 2011 and CWC were awarded €20,476.80 for that six month period. All of this funding was a contribution towards the core cost of the organisation.
A new Funding Scheme was advertised by the Department of Community, Equality & Gaeltacht Affairs in December 2010 and this Scheme transferred to my Department in May 2011; the Community Workers' Co-operative were not awarded funding under the new Scheme.
