Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman, has announced that 27 LGBTI+ projects are set to receive funding under the 2022 LGBTI+ Community Services Funding Call.
A total of €1,209,832 will be made available to support what the Minister describes as organisations across Ireland that assist the development of rural community infrastructure to be inclusive and welcoming of LGBTI+ persons, address gaps in LGBTI+ services and support existing LGBTI+ community organisations.
This includes funding of €93k to TENI, the Transgender Equality Network of Ireland for a ‘Trans Awareness Hub.’
So, just to be completely clear: One arm of Government suspended funding to TENI just six weeks ago, based on a failure to produce accounts. And another arm of that same Government, with no apparent regard for the concerns of the Department of Health, has just handed them close to six figures.
What is going on?
