My Department provides funding to groups to facilitate engagement with the Social Partnership process to cover costs directly related to their contribution to policy-making that is not funded by any other sources. In 2013 I am providing funding of €565,200 to the members of the Community & Voluntary pillar of the Social Partnership process. My Department provided funding of €180,000 to support the Environmental Pillar of Social Partnership in 2012.  This funding was provided from the Environment Fund. The allocation for the Environmental Pillar for 2013 has not yet been finalised.
