702. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the estimated cost in 2019 if the budget for the Irish Film Board was increased by 11%. [2898/19]
View answerIn June 2018, the Irish Film Board was renamed Screen Ireland.
Details of the financial allocations for 2019 to bodies under the aegis of my Department are published in the Revised Estimates for Public Services (REV) 2019 which is available at the following link: https://www.per.go.ie/en/rev/
For ease of reference, the figures for Screen Ireland are reproduced below.

2018 |
€18,022,000 |

2019 |
€20,040,000 |
+ 11.2% |
The increased allocated to Screen Ireland in 2019 is therefore €2,018,000, or just over 11%, higher than in 2018.
