My Department is providing funding, from the Climate Action Fund, to the organisation specified in the details supplied, for a Community Climate Action Programme project. In September 2023, I attended the launch of this project hosted by the organisation. This project is being managed by Pobal, on behalf of my Department. Pobal are therefore the point of contact for the organisation on matters relating to this project.
In both March 2023 and 2024, as part of International Women's Day events in my Department, all staff were invited to presentations by the organisation relating to the project.
The information requested in relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency. The Department will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisations.
