In line with the commitments in the National LGBTI+ Inclusion Strategy, my Department continues to work on the mapping of LGBTI+ community services. In November 2021, 42 projects around the country received funding to a total amount of €1.5 million under the 2021 LGBTI+ Communities Services Fund.

The fund comprises two schemes – one dealing with community services, and the other with visibility and inclusion. The applications received were of a high standard and the application process was very competitive. The project mentioned by the Deputy did not make an application for funding.

The LGBTI+ Community Services Fund for 2022 will be announced in the coming months.
