424 Deputy P. J. Sheehan asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport the amount awarded by her to any of the organisations involved in social partnership for each of the years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and to date in 2010; the details of such payments; the amount awarded; the details of the payments by each of the agencies and bodies under the aegis of her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30994/10]

No payments have been awarded to organisations involved in social partnership in my Department.

Any such payments made by agencies under the aegis of my Department are a matter for the agencies themselves. However I have asked these agencies to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible with the information requested.
