Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-05
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I thank the Minister for his response and acknowledge that he will consider it in future budgets. I welcome the doubling of the fund to €10 million, but we are talking about the community and voluntary sector. We are talking about charities that do very important work and the non-public element of it. I welcome what has been done and hope that in budget 2025 this can be looked at again for this very important sector.
