Departmental Funding
Dail Éireann — 2022-03-31

Paul Donnelly (SF), Dublin West

This has been a critical issue for many community and voluntary organisations throughout the State. They have been calling for multi-annual funding for years. Proper financial support is essential for project management. Staff retention is difficult and most staff are on year-to-year contracts with no pension entitlements or job security.
