Is íe hÚdarás na Gaeltachta amháin a bhaineann ne Ceisteanna sin. Is laghdú atá i méid na n-iasachtaí/rótharraingtí bainc i gcás an eagrais sin idir 1982 agus anois. Ceadaíodh rótharraingt shealadach bhreise de £1 milliún (£1.5 milliún san iomlán) dó le déanaí ach níor baineadh feidhm aisti go fóill. Tá airleacain de £91,116,000 faighte ag Gaeltarra Éireann/ag an Údarás as an bPríomhChiste ó I Aibreán 1965 go dtí seo i mbliana nach mbeidh inaisíochta (ná ní: bheidh ús iníoctha ar an gcéanna) go dtí cibé dáta a chinnfidh an tAire Airgeadais tar éis comhairle a ghlacadh le hAire na Gaeltachta.
