To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the steps he has taken to ensure that grant-aided organisations are spending their moneys appropriately in view of the revelations regarding a charity (details supplied) in 2016; if his attention has been drawn to concerns in relation to organisations funded by his Department; if so, the action he has taken; if his Department has issued new procedures regarding the use of credit cards; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Grant funding is made available by my Department to relevant bodies and organisations in order to assist in the achievement of identified and agreed business objectives. Such funding is provided on the basis that all necessary requirements as detailed in grant assistance schemes are met by the bodies/organisations concerned and that appropriate systems and procedures are in place to ensure the exercise of proper financial controls. I am not aware of specific concerns that have arisen along the lines referred to in the Question regarding bodies/organisations funded by my Department.
