Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 February 2026
193. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport the funding allocated to NGOs by his Department in 2025; the funding allocated to NGOs by agencies and bodies under the remit of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13081/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department, and the bodies under its aegis, fund a wide range of non-profit organisations in the sporting and cultural 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.
