View answerThe funds allocated to Bord Bia in 2016 in respect of their grant (formerly Grant in Aid) amounted to €32.492 million.
It is my intention to increase the grant to Bord Bia in 2017, however, the allocation for 2017 will not be available until the Revised Estimates Volume (REV) is published later this year.
