The Government is aware of the challenges facing community and voluntary organisations and is committed to working closely with the sector in managing through these, recognising that it will require a whole of Government approach.

Further to Parliamentary Question No. 419 of 26 November 2020, I can confirm that my Department is currently finalising plans for the distribution of the additional €10M in funding provided through Budget 2021 including any funding remaining from the original €35million and I will be making an announcement shortly.

Lists of successful applicants are available on my Department’s website at .
