Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 May 2018
642. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the allocation to the Heritage Council in capital and current spending in each of the years 2008 to 2018, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23114/18]
View answerIn 2018, I allocated funding of €6.377M to the Heritage Council as part of the annual Estimates process. This represents an increase of €123,000 on the 2017 allocation, which, in turn, had been increased by over €1 million on the 2016 allocation.
The funding allocations to the Heritage Council, both capital and current, as part of the annual Estimates process for each of the years 2008 to 2018 are set out in the table below.
These figures exclude any additional allocations provided under the Environment Fund which is separate to my Department’s core allocations and administered within the Vote of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
