1250. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of times his Department received requests by Philanthropy Ireland to meet in 2011, 2012 and 2013; the number of times his Department met with Philanthropy Ireland in those years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Neither my Department nor I have received any requests by Philanthropy Ireland to meet in 2011, 2012 or 2013. To be helpful to the Deputy, I did meet with the Chairman of the Forum on Philanthropy, Frank Flannery once subsequent to the publication by it of its report. This meeting was at my request as I was interested in the possibilities for securing philanthropic funds for sports and tourism projects.
