I wish to inform the Deputy that my Department does not keep records classifying each organisation in receipt of grants from the Department by type, for example, community or voluntary organisation.

However, to be of assistance, please find as follows information drawn from my Department's payment records re Galway based organisations who received grants from my Department's Vote (Vote 19) in 2011.

I also wish to inform the Deputy that I do not have statutory responsibility for maintaining lists of the names of the Chairpersons, Secretaries and Treasurers of community and voluntary organisations in Galway (or other counties) that may from time to time receive grants from my Department. While my Department may correspond with such organisations from time to time and, at certain points in time, know the names of some of the Chairpersons, Secretaries and Treasurers, it does not maintain a register of such names. These are matters for the independent organisations concerned.
