I propose to take Questions Nos. 914, 915 and 916 together.

The term non-governmental organisation (NGO) is typically used to refer to civil society bodies, which is the approach taken in this reply. In that context, my Department has funded three NGO’s.

Transparency International Ireland (TII) has been funded by my Department since 2013 to support the Department’s role in the implementation of the Protected Disclosures Act. The Department provides this funding in order to help workers raise concerns regarding potential wrongdoing that has come to their attention in the workplace.

My Department provided grant funding to Benefacts between the period 2015 and 2022. The project was funded as a pathfinder initiative in the area of data analytics on the non-profit sector. Benefacts was initially co-funded with philanthropy. However, in later years, the Department had been providing the majority of funding to the entity. On foot of an independent report in 2019 and a subsequent review in 2020, my Department ceased funding Benefacts in March 2022.

In 2025, my Department provided funding to Electronics Watch, a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to use public procurement leverage to promote and protect the rights of workers in global supply chains.

The total funding provided since 2020 to date is set out in the table below.

* At its cessation, Benefacts refunded grant monies of €87,000 owed to the Department.
