Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 February 2026
133. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Youth the funding allocated to NGOs by her Department in 2025; the funding allocated to NGOs by agencies and bodies under the remit of her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13083/26]
View answerMy Department, and the bodies under its aegis, fund a wide range of non-profit organisations in the education area.
In the absence of an agreed definition of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) it is not possible to say if any of these non-profit groups consider themselves to be NGOs. It is not a category of funding recipient that is distinguished within the programmes which my Department operates.
I have, however, enclosed funding to non profit organisations as per my Department's Financial Management System for 2025. Please note these figures are provisional and will not be finalised until the completion of the 2025 Appropriation Accounts.
