I propose to take Questions Nos. 203, 204 and 205 together.

Lárionad Acmhainní Nádúrtha CTR is a community-based social economy enterprise, incorporated as a company limited by guarantee, with charitable status. LAN CTR has submitted an Annual Report for 2020 to the Charities Regulator which incorporates a copy of the company’s annual accounts as per requirements.  The company directors understand that the accounts are available to the public under the Register of Charities / Charities Regulator.

The Department has been informed by Údarás na Gaeltachta that the company is managed by directors operating in a voluntary capacity.  The company manager is paid a gross salary of €32,000 p.a. in line with POBAL funding guidelines and funding contract.

I have been informed by Údarás na Gaeltachta that the company directors have made their financial statements available to the company's funders.  The directors are not aware of any requirement to publish its annual audited accounts on the company’s website.
