All expenditure on Government grant aid to voluntary bodies and organisations in Northern Ireland is subject to careful scrutiny to ensure that it is used for the genuine purpose of improving social, environmental or economic conditions in areas of need. There are special circumstances in Northern Ireland requiring particular care in administering grant aid and where it is considered that payment of grant would not be in the public interest, no grant is paid.
