Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 October 2024
241. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Social Protection to provide details of all social enterprise organisations or bodies funded by her Department in each year from 2021 to date in 2024; the amount allocated in funding to each during this time period; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42279/24]
View answerAs per the definition of a social enterprise in the Department of Rural and Community Development’s publication Trading for Impact, the National Social Enterprise Strategy 2024 - 2027 - 'a social enterprise is defined as an enterprise whose objective is to achieve a social or environmental impact, rather than maximising profit for its owners or shareholders. It pursues its objectives by trading on an ongoing basis through the provision of goods and/or services, and by reinvesting surpluses fully or primarily into achieving social objectives. It is governed in a fully accountable and transparent manner and is independent of the public sector. If dissolved, it should transfer its assets to another organisation with a similar mission.'
