View answerSince 2012, the Irish Times has published a series of special supplements to mark the Decade of Centenaries as part of its 'Century' series. My Department supports the distribution of these supplements to primary and post-primary schools under the remit of the Department of Education in Ireland, with 75,000 copies distributed this year to approximately 3,800 schools. The amount of funding provided to the Irish Times for this purpose is €30,000. All decisions regarding editorial content, themes and contributors are a matter for the Irish Times.
