To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide a list of the bodies, other than statutory bodies, that were partially funded by his Department in 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2034/13]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 350 and 353 together.
The specific information requested by the Deputy is not collated centrally and would involve significant administrative resources to compile. However, various details of public funding disbursements are made available in a range of publications on an annual basis. The Revised Estimates Volume, published annually by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, contains a significant level of detail, on a Vote by Vote basis, regarding funding allocations in the year of publication, together with details of funding disbursed by the Exchequer in the previous year. The Comptroller and Auditor General also publishes the Appropriation Accounts, which are the annual accounts of Government Departments and other Votes.
Additionally on an annual basis, my Department posts on its website details of organisations that are part-funded from the National Lottery. In this regard details for the years 2010 and 2011 are provided in tabular form in the following spreadsheet. The 2012 details will not be available until the Department's Statutory Accounts for 2012 are finalised later this year.

If there is a specific body in which the Deputy has a particular interest my officials will request the relevant organisation to supply details insofar as is possible.
