I am aware of the issues referred to by the Deputy and note that my colleague, the Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development and Charities, answered Parliamentary Questions on these issues for the Deputy on November 3rd last.
My Department is one of a number of bodies that provides funding to the named organisation - funding is provided for the Local Employment Service operated by the named organisation and previously funding was provided for two Community Employment Schemes operated by the named organisation. The Local Employment Service and the Community Employment Schemes are monitored by my local officials and, to date, no governance, accounting or financial issues have been identified.
