Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
558. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the estimated cost of continuing funding at existing levels for the Decade of Centenaries to fund commemorations each year for the following ten years. [40526/22]
View answerThe Department's allocation to the Decade of Centenaries Programme 2012-2023 in 2021 and 2022 was €5m in each year.
If funding levels were to be maintained at the same level over the next 10 years, funding would amount to €50m in total. However, the Deputy will appreciate that the current Programme is due to conclude in 2023. Any potential extension of the Programme will be considered in consultation with relevant stakeholders at the appropriate time.
