I propose to take Questions Nos. 431 and 432 together.

SICAP funding is allocated to the Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) via the Local Authorities. The Local Authorities, on behalf of the LCDCs, issue the funding to the contracted SICAP Programme Implementers.

No SICAP funding was provided to the organisations in question in 2016 and 2017.  Supports to the groups referenced transferred in 2015 from the then Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government to the Department of Justice and Equality.
