My Department has given €7,407 in grants to the Galway Mountain Rescue Team to date in 2011. The chairperson is Brendan Noonan, the Secretary is Jarlath Folan and the Treasurer is Dermot Hughes.

Also included are the details of the Sports Capital Programme payments to grantees in Galway (city and county). Almost all such grants are on foot of applications made over a number of previous years. The applications may not, therefore, contain details of current officers. Grantees are required to provide one current single point of contact for its dealings with the Department who may not necessarily be the treasurer, secretary or chairperson of the organisation.

For that reason, the Department would not necessarily have the information sought by the Deputy to hand.
