I propose to take Questions Nos. 1556, 1557 and 1558 together.

My 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.
