I propose to take Questions Nos. 240 and 241 together.

Recipients of grant funding and other payments from my Department are not categorised by Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) status or by ethos. It is not, therefore, possible to provide a fully definitive list without a detailed examination of each payment, which would require a significant level of time and resources.

However, the table, which was produced following a summary examination of payments made from the Department's financial management system, provides details of bodies regarded as NGOs, or as having status analogous to NGOs, that were paid directly from the financial management system in the last five years. It also includes a summary of funding to schools and higher education institutions. This list does not include other institutions that may have received funding through a body under the aegis of my Department.

If the Deputy wishes to obtain further information regarding any of the bodies listed, I will arrange for this information to be provided. The bodies are listed at the following link:
