Question:664. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 371 and 372 of 3 October 2019, the number of times in the past four years her Department has allocated additional funds to a body under its aegis for a specific purpose; the body in each case; the amount allocated in each case in proportion to its overall allocation for that year; if the additional funding was granted prior to the commencement of the financial year as part of the financial allocation to the body for that year; the rationale for the ring-fencing of such additional funding in view of the independent statutory remit of these bodies; if ring-fencing of additional funding will cease from 2020 onwards to ensure the statutory independence of bodies under the aegis of her Department is upheld; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
