My Department has provided funding to organisations involved in protecting animal welfare since 1995, on an ex gratia basis, in order to enable these organisations provide a valuable service in the area of animal welfare.  The table at the link provides details of funding provided from 2014 - 2018.

An advertisement was placed in the national press on July 4th this year inviting applications for funding in 2019.  These are currently being processed and an announcement on funding is expected in December.
