Funding which my Department makes available to outside bodies would be for specific purposes related to my Department's policy remit.  

In making funding allocations to outside bodies, the Department does not seek information regarding whether the body in question has expended any of its own resources seeking the repeal of the Eight Amendment. 

However, if the Deputy wishes to provide the details of particular organisations, I would be happy to provide information on any Departmental funding provided for purposes related to education and training.
