I propose to take Questions Nos. 501 and 551 together.

The funding scheme to support national organisations in the community and voluntary sector aims to provide multi-annual funding to national organisations towards core costs associated with the provision of services.

My Department has not provided funding to the Integration Centre during the period in question. However, the organisation was approved under the Scheme to Support National Organisations for a sum of €86,482 from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2016. I have recently been made aware that the organisation is in the process of closing and this funding allocation has been formally withdrawn prior to any drawdown.
