View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 530 and 531 together.
The following table sets out the estimated costs requested by the Deputy:
Existing Capital Budget: €14,454,000 (C8)
1% increase = €14,454,000 + €144,540 = €14,598,540
55% increase = €14,454,000 + €7,949,700 = €22,403,700
63% increase = €14,454,000 + €9,106,020 = €23,560,020
69% increase = €14,454,000 + €9,973,260 = €24,427,260
Existing Current Funding for Údarás na Gaeltachta: €13,080,000 + €5,750,000 (C6 + C7 respectively)
C6 : 1% increase = €13,080,000 + €130,800 = €13,210,800
C7: 1% increase = €5,750,000 + €57,500 = €5,807,500
_______________________________________________________________________________
C6 : 55% increase = €13,080,000 + €7,194,000 = €20,274,000
C7: 55% increase = €5,750,000 + €3,162,500 = €8,912,500
________________________________________________________________________________
C6: 63% increase = €13,080,000 + €8,240,400 = €21,320,400
C7: 63% increase = €5,750,000 +€3,622,500 = €9,372,500
________________________________________________________________________________
C6: 69% increase = €13,080,000 + €9,025,200 = €22,105,200
C7: 69% increase = €5,750,000 + €3,967,500 = €9717,500
As the Deputy is aware, increases in provision are dependent on the resources available to the Department. Any increased funding in 2023 will be determined in the forthcoming Estimates process.
