Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 May 2023
365. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the funding spent on Fís Éireann every year since 2003; and a breakdown by current and capital spending. [24579/23]
View answerThe annual Appropriation Account and Revised Estimates for Public Services for my Department's Vote provides detailed information regarding expenditure and receipts including expenditure on the Arts and Culture programme as set out in the table below. The annual publications provide information on expenditure and multi-annual capital commitments is set out in the Department's Appropriation Accounts (Vote 33) for the relevant years which are published by the Comptroller and Auditor General and are available at: www.audit.gov.ie/en/publications/.
The Revised Estimates Volume for the Public Service (also called ‘the REV’) is published in mid-December every year. It provides more detail on the allocations that were announced in the Budget. The REV also summarises the forecasted spending that has taken place throughout the current year. The previous REVs can be accessed at this link www.gov.ie/en/collection/e20037-revised-estimates/#2022
My Department in its current configuration was established in September 2020 and a table listing current and capital finding in respect of Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland for that period is set out hereunder. It would not be feasible to provide the broad sweep of information requested by the Deputy in the context of a Parliamentary Question. However, if the Deputy has a particular question in relation to a specific body or issue, I would be glad to seek to provide the relevant information.
