Written answers

Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Deputy Jimmy Deenihan)

My Department was established on 2 June 2011 and, therefore, the Deputy will appreciate that the information sought by him can only be provided from that date. I am advised that no funding of the nature referred to by the Deputy was provided to IBEC by my Department since 2 June.
