220. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the level of funding to be provided by his Department in 2022 for the promotion and support of the social enterprise sector; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [59942/21]

Due to the nature of my Department's role, funding for the promotion and support of the social enterprise sector is not provided from its Votes. However, the Deputy may wish to note that by supporting the administration of the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) and technical assistance costs for the SEUPB and the Regional Assemblies, my Department is indirectly supporting social enterprise projects that are directly funded by EU funds.
I understand that the Deputy has also submitted this question to all Ministers, who will respond in respect of their Departments.
