272. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will provide a schedule of NGOs that he and bodies under the aegis of her Department suspended funding and or grant aid to due to their failure to file accounts and or concerns arose in respect of their governance in the years 2019 to 2022 and to date in 2023; and the amount of funding per NGO that was suspended.

As I advised the House in my reply to Dáil Question Nos. 353, 354 and 355 of 18th May 2021, while my Department provides funding to a wide range of sporting, cultural and community organisations, funding is not provided to any non-governmental organisations.
As the Deputy will appreciate, my Department and those bodies under it aegis are responsible for a wide range of funding programmes. Many of the beneficiaries of these programmes, for example sports clubs, are eligible for charitable status. Details of allocations under these programmes are announced from time to time and details of Department expenditure are published annually in the Department's Appropriation Account.
