The information sought by the Deputy in relation to the grants and amounts paid by my Department to community and voluntary groups in Galway city and county to date in 2011 is set out in the following table. As the Deputy will be aware, my Department, as currently configured, was established on 2 June 2011 and therefore the available information is being provided from that date. As the Deputy will be further aware, on foot of the reconfiguration of Government Departments earlier this year, the prime responsibility in relation to community affairs now rests with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government.

The Deputy will appreciate that, generally speaking, details of the names of the chairperson, secretary and treasurer of such groups would be a matter for the groups themselves. However, if the Deputy has a concern in relation to a specific group, I would be glad to provide any further information that may be available to my Department.
