I propose to take Questions Nos. 1367, 1419 to 1421, inclusive, 1424 and 1449 together.

My Department has no role in the internal operations of any private organisations and, therefore, does not have a role in relation to staff or employment matters, which are for the Board of the company, as the employer, to manage. For the avoidance of doubt, my Department is not the employer of the individual referred to in the details supplied.

However, the Government recognises that like all other sectors of our economy, the community and voluntary sector has had to deal with reduced funding in recent years. The Government is considering the scope for a scheme to address this issue insofar as certain redundancy matters are concerned and d iscussions between my Department and the Department of Public Expenditure and Ref orm in that regard are on-going,taking account also of on-going engagement with the Attorney General’s Office in relation to legal issues. The matter will be considered further in light of the outcome of these consultation.
