Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail any support his Department is providing to (i) reuse organisations; and (ii) community reuse projects.

Answer:

My Department does not support reuse organisations or community reuse projects.

The Northern Ireland Resources Network (NIRN) is the official representative body for reuse and repair organisations in Northern Ireland. The network is directly funded and supported by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) to promote the circular economy and reduce landfill waste.
