As the Deputy may be aware, while my Department administers and delivers a wide range of programmes and measures, descriptions of which are available on its website at .

In view of the wide range of my Department’s schemes and programmes and the large volumes of applications for funding received thereunder on an ongoing basis, I am not satisfied that the work involved in compiling and collating the breakdown of expenditure sought by the Deputy would be feasible or justified. However, if the Deputy has any specific queries relating to a particular organisation which has been granted charitable tax exemption by the Revenue Commissioners, I would be glad to seek to provide him with relevant information in that regard.
