My Department is not providing any funds for the civil cases that the organisation referred to by the Deputy is defending in the courts. Civil cases and their disposition are a matter for the organisation concerned.

Funding from my Department is made available to the organisation in question through a structured grant scheme established to support the delivery of youth services.

It is the responsibility of the body in receipt of funding to ensure that services are delivered in line with the objectives of the grant scheme and within the allocations provided by my Department.
