I propose to take Questions Nos. 908 and 911 together.

The National Collective of Community Based Women's Networks, which comprises 17 groups, is mainly funded by my Department. The allocation for this year is €1.385 million. Funding for 2018 will be considered as part of the overall budgetary process within the fiscal parameters set by Government.
