As the Deputy may be aware, part of the reasoning for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform terminating funding to Benefacts was that the service provided did not fall under the ambit of the Department's policy responsibility. That remains the case.

Accordingly, the Department does not have plans regarding any proposed reconstitution of the Benefacts service. However, the Department will assess any proposal from another Department or public service body in the context of the normal estimates process and in accordance with the Public Spending Code, if required.
